406 FLORA OF OXFORDSHIRE. 
W. viridula, Brid. (controversa, Hedw.) 
Banks, ete., frequent. April. Near Islip; Bicester; Stow Wood and 
Beckley; Bayswater; Caversham Warren; Stokenchurch and Radnage ; 
Bagley Wood and Pusey, Berks. 
DICRANOWEISSIA, Lindb. 
D. cirrhata, Hedw. (Weissia.) 
Old thatch, posts, rails, ete. Very rare. April. On an old shed at 
Ascott-under-Wychwood in plenty, 1879. The shed has been since 
removed and the moss destroyed, and I have not found it elsewhere 
in these counties. In Worcestershire it is frequent, and also in Dorset. 
Its rarity here is rather remarkable. ;
