EUROPE AND NORTH AMERICA. 75 
Has.—Among prass, by the shady sides of streams. 
England: Darnholm, Goathland, Yorkshire (Braithwaite) ; about Ulverston, 
Lancashire (Miss Hodgson); Barbon Fell, Westmoreland (Barnes); Penzance, 
Cornwall (Curnow). 
What I assume to be this variety grows in loose tufts, having 
large flexuose branches, and large somewhat divergent leaves with 
a slight gloss. 
15. Sphagnum Wulfii, GircENnsonn. 
PL. XXII. 
Monoicous; robust, more or less rufescent, the stem with two 
layers of cuticular cells. Stem leaves small, dilated at base, 
lingulate, rather acute, without fibres or pores. Branches 7-12 in 
a fascicle, their leaves ovato-lanceolate, erecto-patent, with three 
minute teeth; chlorophyllose cells central, oval or rectangular in 
section.

Monoicous ; robust, yellowish or brownish green, or sometimes 
deep green, in loosely cohering tufts. 
Stems 5-12 in. high, simple or sometimes divided, blackish 
brown, solid, densely ramulose ; cells of the peripheral zone purple, 
in 5-6 layers, strongly incrassate; cuticular cells in two strata, 
small, non-porose. Stem leaves small, from a broad base, lingulate- 
triangular, reflexed, rather acute, eroso-subdenticulate at apex ; the 
hyaline cells repeatedly divided, without fibres or pores, those in 
the middle rhomboidal, becoming narrower towards the margin, 
where they form a border of 3-6 rows. 
Ramuli 7-12 in a fascicle, 3-5 divergent, short, slightly arched, 
becoming clavate upward and then suddenly pointed; the rest 
deflexed and closely appressed to stem, very long, slender and 
filiform, lax-leaved, often of a pale rose colour; the porose cuti- 
cular cells short and scarcely differing from the rest. Branches 
of the coma short, thick, and numerous, forming a large dense 
capitulum.
