This moss is generally found along with B. calophyllum, Warneum and 

 Marratii, and appears to indicate that all have sprung from some common 

 ancestor.

Synoicous ; very like B. pendulum. Leaves softer, subrevolute, 

 rather more widely limbate, acutely carinate toward apex, nerve rufous, 

 excurrent in a toothed hair. Caps, on a long purple seta, inclined or 

 pendulous, from a longer neck, ovate or oblong, often a little incurved, 

 somewhat contracted below the mouth when dry, rufo-fuscous or 

 badious, annulus broad, lid from a convex base broader with a shorter 

 point; endostome free above, the membrane half the length of the 

 teeth, processes long free, perforated in the keel, cilia none. 



Hab. — On walls and banks, not uncommon. Fr. 5. 



Differs from B. pendulum by the more lanceolate leaves with broader 

 limb, caps, more slender and symmetric with a wider lid. From B. caspiticium 

 by the endostome and inflor. as well as small mouth of capsule, and less 

 silky leaves. B, longisetum Bland, appears to be only a variety.
