A remarkable and handsome moss, quite distinct from all the other. 
species in the long, robust, flexuose stems, with very densely crowded, 
strongly falcate leaves; the habit of the plant quite recalls Lycopodium 
clavaium. The fruity which was not known at the time of the publication 
of the Handb. N. hi. Fl., is clearly Bartramioid: the see is very long, at 
times over 3in.; the capsule elongate, deeply plicate, ‘somewhat 
asymmetric, with a ‘distinct neck. 
The species has, I think, only been found in the central and southern 
parts of the South Island.
