Mastigobryum papillatum Stephani, Spec. Hep. 3: 526. 1909. 



This variety, collected in Dominica by Elliott, differs from var. longa in that 

 the cuticle of the leaves and underleaves is very conspicuously roughened by 

 large, coarse, wart-like protuberances. The cuticle of the leaves and underleaves 

 of var. longa varies from faintly to strongly verrueulose. In no instance are the 

 verruculae even half as large as those of the var. papillata. Fig. 25, i.
