lanceolate red teeth, internally barred, and marked with a
medial line. Inner peristome divided about half-way into
16 perforated segments, with a pair of cilia between each
pair of segments. Annulus none. .Lid convex, mucro-
nulate.
Rather more than twice the size of Bryum carneum, with
which it very nearly corresponds in character; but it ripens
at a later season, and is easily known by its broader, pale,
glaucous foliage.—W . W.
