CEPHALOZIELLA LIMPRICHTII IN BRITAIN 187 
The following is a slightly modified translation of Herr War 
storf’s acai diagnosis, to which I have added a short debedg tints 
of the capsu 
Cepha aiapiti° Limprichtii Warnst. in Kryptogamen Flora der 
Mark Brandenburg; Leber- und Torf-moose von C. Warnstorf 
and more robust than C. byssacea, in yellowish green, loose, black 
lan becoming brownish with age. tems prostrate, over 
10 mm. long, with rhizoids, simple or with subfloral branches. 
Teaves rather distant, larger below the female flowers, diagonally 
inserted on the stems, from a narrower base generally keel-shaped 
or trapeziform in outline, divided by a generally sharp-angled 
sinus reaching to about the middle into two pointed slightly or 
strongly diverging lobes with entire margins; the lateral margins 
of the lower part of the leaves without teeth. Stipules few, distinct, 
C 
walled, in the older ones and the male bracts somewhat incrassate. 
Paroicous; male flowers in eee te below the female flower ; bracts 
larger than the stem-leaves, oval in outline, bifid by an obtuse sinus 
reaching from one-third to one-half of the length of the leaf; lobes 
pointed and imbricate, with entire margins ; female flowers on the 
ends of the stems ; inner bracts twice as large as the upper stem- 
leaves, divided by a sharp sinus, often reaching to the middle, into 
two pointed lobes with the margins entire or indistinctly obtuse- 
toothed, sometimes adnate to the lower bract, so as to form a 
arr 
lobed and crenulate “mouth. sae aia ajfiaiiticabpblotie, 
-45 to 55 mm. long and ‘16 to ‘21 mm. broad; cell-walls of both 
the ie iid outer layers of ‘the capsule-wall strongly nodulose. 
Spores 9 to 12 » in diameter, finely papillose, and like the valves 
and elaters of a bright claret-red when living. Mature in April. 
Gemme very similar to those of C. byssacea are frequently present. 
The Sussex plant was mae on damp clay soil under trees on the 
fringe of the Folly Wood, Hamsey, near Lewes. Previously it had 
only been recorded by Herr Maree a from a single locality near 
Neuruppin in Brandenbur, rg. 
C, Limprichtii differs from C. byssacea (Roth) and C. divaricata 
(Smith) in - abritg size, paroicous and orenoenee and entire female 
racts, which are also more deenly lobed, narrower, 
more acute aia more closely imbricate, an
