This little plant is a miniature of C. Schwarzii from which it can only be 

 distinguished by the auricled leaves in the latter species, to which indeed 

 McKinlay's Perthshire specimens referred here, truly belong. Wulfsberg found 

 the plant with young fruit Sept. 1874 at Skoelnes in the island of Varaldsoe, 

 Norway, having a straight seta, and on this character alone, founded the 

 genus Ovthopus ; this cannot be maintained, as several exotic species have a 

 straight seta, and the point is too trivial for generic distinction.

Camp, auriadatus WiLS. MSS. 



Dioicous ; in dense soft silky yellowish-green tufts, fuscous below. 

 Stems 2 — 3 in. high, slender, repeatedly dichotomous, erect, sparingly 

 radiculose. Leaves erecto-patent, straight or slightly secund above, 

 lanceolate-subulate, concave below, subtubular above, with a few 

 small teeth at apex ; nerve f width of base, of 3 — 4 strata of 

 cells, anterior lax, hyaline, the rest small, chlorophyllose, often 

 producing fine reddish radicles from the back ; wings dilated at basal 

 angles into auricles of lax thin cells, partly brown, partly hyaline, the 

 cells above small, narrow and elongated, becoming subquadrate upward. 

 Female infl. aggregated at top of stem, bracts dilated at base, suddenly 

 subulate.

This moss varies considerably in size and colour, and is always more 

 slender and attenuated at the points than the next species, with the leaves 

 more distantly placed on the stem.
