S. squarrosum, Pers. Spreading-leaved Bog-moss. II. 5. 
Marshy banks of Bescobie Lake plentiful, bearing It. 
abundantly. 
S. subsecundum, Nees. (Identical with S. contortum , 
Schultz, according to Dr Arnott.) 
Rescobie. Its stem is rigid, of a compact texture, and 
dark colour, covered with only a single row of 'pellucid cel- 
lules. The cells in the leaves too are minute. 
S. intermedium (of authors — Arnott.) 
Our most common species, usually considered as S. acuti - 
folium. 
On the Sidlaw Hills and Clova mountains it occurs in 
dense masses, bearing capsules plentifully, sometimes much 
tinged with red. 
S. fmbriatum, Wils. MSS. (The true S. acutifolium of 
Ehrhart.) Slender Bog-moss. II. 5.

Rescobie plentiful, rare in ft. It is probably not uncom- 
mon, but may have been counfounded with some of the other 
species. The leaves on the stem are without any membrane 
or cellules between the net- work, so that the open ends of 
the latter projecting present a fimbriated appearance. It is 
the S. acutifolium of Drummond’s Musci Scotici.

colour, as if a nerve or vein had run along it.
