TORTULA INCLINATA, Hook. & Grev., AS A BRITISH 
MOSS. 
By Henry Boswett. 
(Tas. 139.) 
Srxcz the publication of the list of Oxfordshire Mosses in the 
volume of the “ Journal of Botany ” for 1872, p. 867, in which allusion 
was made to the circumstance of Tortula inelinata having been found 
for the first time in Britain, twelve months _have elapsed without 
e island in which a certain species is found; and it occurs 
to me that possibly a more extended notice, by calling attention 
to the subject in a way that the former brief note may have 
failed _to do, will oe Pa more careful search and the discovery 
0 as 
more complete con palin: saa greater quantity. To facilitate its 
“e Rerbide inclinata, Schwg.—Dioicous ; broadly-tufted, tufts plane, 
condensed. Stem short or taller, dense ely leaf _Leaves elongato- 
i on the b 
ground near river-b r and subalpine calcareous 
situations. The short stems, rarely attaining an inch in len e 
shorter, broader, and less ving leaves, and t e shorter cernuous 
ry eadily distinguish it from B. tortuosa.’ == (telies p. Synops., 
Now, although the h 
; present species belongs strictly to the group or 
section tortuose, it must not be inferred from the above remarks that 
it at all bat in appearance with 7. tortuosa, as found in sade tufts on 
N.S. VOL. 3. Seep 1874.]
