This moss is very variable, and resembles the equally variable B. pallens, 

 but differs in the shorter regular capsule strongly contracted below the 

 mouth. The Var. fi. by its large size has quite a different appearance, but 

 it agrees entirely with the type in structure, and presents numerous forms 

 intermediate between the two ; it corresponds closely to Var. glacialis of 

 Pohlia albicans.
