The two last quoted examples are typical of the vegetation of dry rock-faces. Homalotheciiim sericeum occurs there almost always. */ */ / and is often dominant on exposed rock-faces as far upwards as 400—500 metres above sea-level, Pterigynandrum is also extremely common, especially in the low land. Grimmia fnnalis is rarely ab- sent and often forms very large and deep, fruiting tufts, and espe- cially in South Iceland G. torquata is exlremely common and often covers large portions of the rock-faces with its irregularly-rounded cushions (Fig. 30). 6.
