account of the thicker cell walls, linear flexuose, obtuse, the 

 basal ones with non-porose walls, the angular firmer, less 

 hyaline, with incrassate walls, forming- distinct, decurrent orange 

 or brown auricles. These latter vary considerably in size 

 in different specimens, and when very small are sometimes 

 difficult to detach with the leaves, and, remaining- attached to 

 the stem, are liable to be overlooked unless sought in situ. The 

 capsule is longer and narrower than in H. aduncum. Grows in 

 marshes, mostly near the sea, but also inland. I have not 

 seen it at the elevations indicated in some of our Floras ; nor on 

 the grit moorlands of Lancashire, but Dr. Braithwaite states 

 (British Moss Flora, Vol. III., p. 41) that it is not uncommon 

 on the moors of North Yorkshire.

from this locality so labelled by Mr. G. E. Hunt is referred by 

 Mons. Renauld to H. rewlvens var. i?iter?nedium. Southport 



(59) , W. Wilson. Birkdale (59), Wheldon ! ! Between South- 

 port and Ainsdale several puzzling states of this plant occur, 

 one with auricles nearly obsolete, another Renauld labels '■forma 

 late auricnlata. ' A third and distinct-looking form has the 

 leaves secund, but much less falcate, not at all circinate. St. 

 Anne's (60), Wheldon ! ! Here also occurs a form very closely 

 resembling- H. Wilsoni m facies, of which Mons. Renauld writes 

 ' a la part du H. Wilsoni, et les caracteres du H. Sendtneri, 

 ouillettes grandes, cellules basilaires non poreuses.' 



Forma vulgaris Sanio. Much more slender, but stouter 

 than the forma gracilescens Sno. Stems several times divided, 

 divisions pinnate. Leaves densely arranged, very glossy, strongly 

 falcate-secund, from a widely ovate base, more suddenly narrowed 

 to a long, strongly-curved point.

Forma trivialis Sanio. An elongated deep water form, with 

 more distant leaves, less strongly falcate, or the points only 

 reflexed from an erect base, from an oval-oblong base more 

 gradually narrowed to a very long subulate point, which is 

 flexuose or twisted ; cells usually longer.
