Barbula Lancia Linclb., Knaresbro’, Yorkshire (64), May /08, C.A.C. 
“ Mr. Dixon agrees with me in referring this plant, which is rather 
poor, to an undeveloped form of B. fallax, mixed with a few stems 
of Dichodontium pellucidum, which may have given rise to the idea 
that it was B. I arid a .” W.E.N.

Barbula rigidula Mitt. var. obtmifolia Ingli. MS., Newton-on-Ouse, 
Yorkshire (62*), July /07. “ Also recorded from Y.C. 3,” W.I. “An 
interesting plant showing in some ways a transition between typical 
rigidula and Barb. Nicholsoni Culmann, though much smaller than 
the latter. It is, however, a little unsatisfactory for Mr. Ingham to 
circulate material under a MS. name without description, as I fear 
that such circulation would not be held to be ‘ publication ’ within 
the meaning of new Vienna Rules.” W.E.N.

Barbula Hornsckuchiana Schultz, Permian limestone rocks. 
Knaresbro’, Yorks. (64*), May /08, C.A.C. “ I make this plant to 
be a small form of of the polymorphic B. gracilis. It is an interesting 
addition to the Yorkshire list.” W.E.N. 
“ Mr. Clieetham’s plant is certainly B. gracilis. He may perhaps 
have been misled as to the twisting of the leaves by the fact that 
there are a few stems of B. convoluta with spirally twisted leaves 
mixed up with it ; in the bulk of the stems the leaves are I think 
just as the Handbook describes them in gracilis , appressed and very 
slightly twisted. The leaf margin is perhaps reflexed higher in the 
leaf than usual, but this is not a very important thing, and it varies 
in this respect even on Mr. Cheetham’s own specimens ; it is not 
nearly so ividely reflexed as in B. Hornschuchiana. The nerve is 
often perhaps rather stout for gracilis ; but in all other characters it 
seems to agree quite well, and Mr. Cheetham’s drawings of leaf 
section, leaf form, and cells seem to differ scarcely at all in the two 
plants.” H.N.D.
