lated. Capsule straight, scarcely even a little inclined,
ovato-oblong, at first green, afterwards reddish brown, and
in age slightly furrowed upwards. Calyptra mitriform, cut
into a few short, blunt segments at the base. Lid subulate,
having a beak almost as long as the capsule. Peristome
of sixteen, long, erect, very narrow teeth, mostly
entire, sometimes cleft at the extremity, and sometimes
perforated: colour red. An annulus or ring at the top of
the capsule, between it and the lid, is present.
I have never seen the calyptra cleft on one side, as it is
represented by Schwaegrichen, tab. 22. f. 12.—W. J. H.
