NATURAL HISTORY, TORONTO REGION 
The following notes refer to the occurrence of 
these species in the present-day flora. 
Drepanocladus capillifolius has been collected near 
Montreal, but is probably rare in Eastern America. 
It is frequent on the Pacific coast. 
Drepanocladus vernicosus is a rather rare species 
of swamps and bogs to the south, but is said to be 
common in similar habitats in Canada north of Lake 
Superior and to the west. It has also been found in 
Prince Edward Island and Anticosti. 
Drepanocladus lycopodioides is certainly rare in 
our range. It grows in bogs and peat meadows and 
is found as far north as Greenland. 
Drepanocladus aduncus occurs on wet earth, stones, 
pools, spring places, swamps, and is reported through- 
out Canada, including the Lake Ontario district. 
Drepanocladus fluitans is a moss of swamps, pools 
and peat bogs. Its range extends from Labrador to 
British Columbia. 
Hygrohypnum palustre is uncommon to the south, 
but is said to be frequent in Canada on rocks in 
rivers. It is reported from New Brunswick, Gaspé, 
Owen. Sound, Lake Superior, and British Columbia. 
Hygrohypnum montanum is regarded as an alpine 
or subalpine moss of New England, Canada and 
Newfoundland. It is common to several stations in 
Canada, and among others to Owen Sound. It 
grows 1n mats on wet or submerged rocks.
