1 — A capsule of Seligeria calcarea, enlarged. 



2 — A plant of Seligeria tristicha laxa, enlarged. (Vaginule 0.5mm., 



seta alone i. 3-1. 5mm.). 



3 — Antheridial bud, enlarged, showing tristichous leaf arrangement. 



4 — A leaf, enlarged; a, b. c, Apex, margin and base of leaf, much en- 



larged: d, e, f. Leaf sections from near apex, middle and base, all

mind, (see fig. B, plate 10.). Braithwaite in "British Moss Flora," p. 119, 



refers to the latter form when he says "capsule subspherical." He adds 



"with a swollen neck." This is very short in the Swedish plant and hardly 

 perceptible in the plant under consideration. 



Among the discrepancies in the description two points are worthy of 

 record. Limpricht in "Laubmoose p. 467," says "the spores are 24-32/i, 

 yellowish-green, delicately wrinkled'' our own plant has the spores only 

 20-24//, yellowish-brown (quite ripe) and sparingly, but distinctly, minutely 

 papillose. A character not given anywhere and which is found also on the 

 Swedish plant is Vhq papillose apexoi the calyptra.
