Hab In subalpine countries, far from uncommon ; in various parts of England, Scotland, 
and Ireland, growing, as well upon the ground, as upon mosses and other Jungermannia 
(It bears fructification in the spring months.) 
Plant growing in loosely- mat ted patches of various sizes, rendered conspicuous by their yellowish 
brown color. 
Root a few whitish, simple fibres, proceeding in small clusters, the whole length of the stem, 
from beneath the stipules. . 
Surculi varying in length from one to three inches, filiform, slightly flexuose, simple, or, as 
generally happens, divided by innovations of various lengths, that are patent, and resemble 
the parent stems in every thing excepting size. All are procumbent : their texture is firm, 
rather rigid when dry ; the cellules very compact : the color a dirty reddish brown. 
Leaves about half a line long, smaller towards the extremity and at the base alte.na e y, 
but rather closely and very regularly, arranged in a bifarious manner, horizontal, plane.
