Saskatchewan: 23 (7480), 28 (7479), 33b (R. L. Longworth ). Manitoba: 68 (6296). This species was surprisingly abundant at the Dore Lake site, forming an extensive carpet of several square metres in one location, almost to the exclusion of other bryophytes.

Saskatchewan: 23 (7480), 28 (7479), 33b (R. L. Longworth ). Manitoba: 68 (6296). This species was surprisingly abundant at the Dore Lake site, forming an extensive carpet of several square metres in one location, almost to the exclusion of other bryophytes. Otherwise, it is normally found in small clumps or mixed with other bryophytes in fairly mineral-rich sites such as swamps, springs, or rivulets (Frye and Clark 1937). It can often be wholly or partly submerged and has an arctic- alpine distribution, being reported from Alaska and the Yukon south to Oregon, east to Montana, Alberta, Michigan, Quebec, and New England (Frye and Clark 1937). Scapania undulata (L.) Dum. Saskatchewan: 55a (6551). This is an exceedingly polymorphic species growing in a wide range of habitats from aquatic to dry sites (Conard and Redfearn 1979). It is as likely to be found in rivulets or springs as it is on wet earth, stones, or rotten wood (Frye and Clark 1937). Hence, the Saskatchewan collection from mine tailings is not as unusual as it might first appear. Scapania undulata is known from Alaska to Newfoundland south to California, Arizona, Colorado, the Ozarks, Tennessee, and Georgia (Conard and Redfearn 1979). Tritomaria exsectiformis (Breidl.) Loeske. Saskatchewan: 22a (7481). This species grows in small patches on decaying wood, peaty soil, banks and rock faces across northern North America south to California, Utah, Colorado, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, New York, and Connecticut (Schuster 1969). The Saskatchewan occurrence extends the distribution eastward from Alberta, leaving Manitoba as the only province from which the species has not be
