ACROCARPOUS MOSSES. 
435 
(Buxbaumia aphylla, L. 
There is a record of this from heathy g-round on Savvley 
Moor near Ripon (T. Simpson), given in J. Nowells' list 
of Yorkshire Mosses in the Supplement of Baines' " Flora 
of Yorkshire/' 1854. The locality is in West Yorkshire.) 
This g-enus of mosses is found growing- on decaying 
trunks of Pinus sylvestris or other Firs, and it should be 
looked for amongst the hills of North Yorkshire where it 
is probable it may be met with (M.B.S.).

Frequent upon shaded rocks, amongst the hills, on both 
sides of the central valley (Baker).

shoots with a terminal rosette of gemmiparous buds, by 
which it increases.
