that it is not very typical of the variety and probably descends from 
H. commutatum. i gather from the Handbook that Mr. Dixon 
includes forms of both commutatum and falcatum in the variety.

Hypnum cupressiformc L., var. with very incrassate cells, Eller 
Beck, Goathland, N.E. Yorks. (62), Aug. /08, W.I. “ This is a very 
difficult plant to determine. If the younger upper leaves are 
examined, the alar cells will he found of different type from those ol 
H. cupressiformc, large and clear. In the older leaves they are 
coloured and thickened with secondary deposits, and look smaller. 
These cells, together with the brown stems, peculiar serrature of the 
leaves, very abundant and often palmately dissected paraphyllia, lead 
me to the conclusion that it is a somewhat abnormal form of H. 
imponens, with the leaf base in some leaves narrower than is usual 
in good typical specimens.” J.A.W. 
“ I first named this H. imponens and sent it to Mr. Dixon, who 
did not agree to tire name. It would be well to let Mr. Dixon see 
what Mr. Wheldon says about the moss, as I agree it has features of 
H. imponens.” W.I. 
“ This has many characters recalling H. imponens, and I felt the 
more ready to see imponens in it that H. imponens certainly occurs 
in Goathland, as I have a specimen from there, leg: Ingham, Apr. 
1903. That however is a different plant in marked characters, it 
has the brown stems even in upper part, more numerous paraphyllia, 
characteristic leaf form in both base and acumen, and characteristic 
few alar cells. This plant has not the characteristic leaf form, and 
especially it has the numerous supra-alar cells of H. cupressiformc. 
I have little doubt it belongs there, as a rather marked form, not 
unlike a little larger form gathered on rocks in Silverdale, Lancs., by 
Messrs. Wheldon and Wilson (? var. lacunosum Brid.).” H.N.D.
