Autoicous ; densely gregarious and subcsespitant, deep yellow- 

 green. Lower leaves very small, the comal patulous, oblongo and 

 spathulato-lanc, acuminate, sharply serrate in the upper part, not 

 limbate, twisting somewhat when dry, nerve vanishing below apex. 

 Caps, on a straight reddish seta, a little asymmetric, spherical, or with 

 the short neck, shortly pyriform, reddish-brown, contracted and more 

 elongated when old, not annulate ; calyptra inflated yellowish, lid small, 

 convex, the cells spirally oblique, peristome rudimentary and fugacious, 

 consisting of short papillose fragments, spores strongly verruculose. 



Hab. — In fields and on banks, generally distributed in subalpine districts, 

 but not common. Fr. 4 — 5. 



Most resembling Physcomitrium pyriformt, but readily distinguished by the 

 different calyptra and lid.
