Or. Musci. This remarkable genus differs from all 
other mosses, in having a thread, which splits into 
four valves, cohering at their ends by means of the 
persistent lid ; it agrees with Sphagnum, in having 
no footstalk, but in its room an elongated recepta- 
cle, and appears to be a transition from Musci to 
Hepaticx. This is, however, only apparent. All 
the species are natives of rocks or mountains, and 
are remarkable for their nearly black, or dark- 
brown colour. — Loudon’s Encyclopedia of Plants —
