FLORA OF OXFORDSHIRE. 423 
T. abietinum, Linn, 
Limestone banks, chalk-hills and mountain fir-woods ; rare and barren 
in Britain. Dillenius records it ‘ in collibus pone Hincksey,’ but I have 
sought it in vain thereabouts. Holton Stone Pits, 1865, 1873, 1885, in 
some plenty. Should be found on the chalk in the Chiltern country. 
AYPNID&. 
CLIMACIUM, Brid. 
C. dendroides, Linn. (Hypnum). 
Bogs, marshes, wet moors and meadows. November. Near Bullingdon 
and Stow Wood; between Buckland and Pusey. Scarce and barren, 
apparently dying out, like so many of our marsh plants. 
THAMNIUM, Schpr. 
T. alopecurum, Linn. (Hypnwm.) 
Moist shady woods and copses, frequent and not rarely in fruit. 
Winter. When within reach of woodland streamlets it assumes very large 
size, and then is seldom fertile. 
ISOTHECIUM, Brid. 
I. myurum. 
(i. curvatum, Turn.) 
Woods, not unfrequent. November, December. Wychwood Forest; 
Bruern Woods; Ditchley; Grave Hill Wood, fine; Stanton St. John; 
near Watlington, Stokenchurch, and Henley. 
HOMALOTHECIUM, Schpr. 
H. sericeum, Linn. (Hypnum.) 
Trunks of trees, walls, very common. Winter. Fruit comparatively 
scarce and apparently mostly on stone. 
CAMPTOTHECIUM, Schpr. 
C. lutescens, Huds. (Hypnum.) 
Shady banks, limestone rocks and quarries, frequent, but rarely fruiting. 
November, December. Near Witney, in plentiful fruit; near Stoken- 
church ; Bagley Wood, a few capsules. 
BRACHYTHECIUM, Schpr. 
B. salebrosum, Hoffm. (Hypnwm.) 
Grassy sandy banks, and on trees; rare. November. Near Kirt- 
lington and Woodstock, 1864; W. Holliday. Between Witney and 
Ducklington, 1870; F. Westell and H. B.
