H. cupressiforme L. Closely related to the last but typically easily dis-tinguished; very variable, especially in size, and in some varieties likely to beconfused. ParaphyUia fewer and narrower; stems greenish, less regularly pinnate,less rigid and stouter in appearance; stem leaves entire, or serrulate above only,narrower, slightly decurrent, plane at margins or nearly so, area of subquadratealar cells much larger, granular and as a rule not distinct as figured unless cleared,little inflated at extreme angles, but a few cells are larger and clearer, leaf basesusually not colored except at the angles: dioicous; perichaetial leaves not plicate;spores in late autumn or early winte
