458 Mr. Hardy on the Moss Flora of the Eastern Borders. 



R. In the woods near Linthaughlee. Ehrhart had a poetical 

 fancy for names ; he calls this elegant moss — " Georgia Mnemosy- 

 num.." 



33. Tetrodontium, Schwcegr. 



1. T. Brownianum, Dicks. N. ** On the under side of a shel- 

 ving rock in the dean at Twizell House, where it was discovered 

 by Dr. Grevilh.^' (Dr. Johnston). On rocks in Lyham dean. — 

 Messrs. J. and W. B. Boyd. "In caespitibus latis, planis, 

 amorphis, rupes umbrosas instar Byssi investit," is the remark 

 of Dr. Eoberfc Brown, its discoverer. Sir J. E. Smith, calls it 

 "Muscus valde paradoxus." 



34. Buxbaumia, Haller. 



1. B. APHYLLA, Haller. B. A few specimens found in April, 

 on the earthen cope of a stone wall of one of the Brockholes 

 plantations.—/. A. N. In barren places in the Bizzle, in ia67. 

 — W. B. B. One of the rarest and most singular of the recent 

 additions to the Flora. 



35. DiphySCimn, Weher and Mohr. 



1. D.- roLiosuM, Web. and Mohr. N. On peaty and barren 

 earth in chinks and hollows among the rocks, &c., on both sides 

 of the Bizzle. The foliage of a rusty tinge is common ; but I only 

 found fruit on it one year, and that decayed, and not unlike a 

 withered bell-heather blossom. More recently in September, 

 fruit has rewarded Mr John Boyd's research. It is more com- 

 monly in fruit near St. Mary's Loch. 



36. Atrichum, Beauv. 

 1. A. TUSTDULATUM, P. Beauv. Moist clayey banks in ravines 

 and woods ; common. " Frigoris valde impatiens," it shuns the 

 high part of the hills. 



37. Oligotrichum, De Cand. 

 1. O. HERCYNICTJM, De Cand. N. Not unfrequentin a barren 

 state in the Bizzle where the snow rests so long, descending to 

 the junction of the streams ; confined to the barren gravelly soil. 

 In the same soil in the higher part of Dunsdale and Bellyside 

 ravine, where it produces capsules ; and in Henhole, particularly 

 about the entry ; also at the top. A few examples have occurred 

 above Harthope Linn. 



38. Pogonatum, Beauv. 



1. P. NANUM, Brid. On earth-capt dikes, and shady crevices 

 in yellow or sandy soil in the higher moors. Among the hills it 

 is found on Hedgehope and Ilderton Dod. 



2. P. ALOiDES, Bridel. In similar situations. Noticed in the 

 Bizzle. 



3. P. UENiGERUM, Bridel. On banks, tops of walls, and 

 mossy ground, general. '< Cheviot and Hedgehope." — Winch. 

 round both in Bizzle and Henhole. Dr. Johnston marks for a
