Hab. On dry banks and rocks. This moss, which is rather common in 
many parts of the country, makes its presence known to the 
muscologist by its pretty globular capsules elevated on longish 
pedicels crowded in roundish tufts. The var. /3. crispa grows 
with stems from 3 to 6 inches long on Brandon, and also at 
Cromagloun, Kerry, but I never could find it producing fruit 
in that state.

Hab. On damp boggy ground and shaded rocks, This is a very 
abundant moss in most parts of Ireland, particularly so in the 
hilly districts, and frequently to be met with in fruit. When 
growing, as it does in parts of Kerry, with stems upwards of 6 
inches long, it is a very handsome species.
