Hypnum Schreberi X J^. late autumn or winter, but remain in fairly good condition until the next summer. Brachythecium oxycladon (Brid.)

The capsules are usually much darker than those of the Common Hypnum. The usual habitat of the Long-capsuled Brachythecium is on moist ledges and rocks. H. SchrEbEei Willd., Schreber's Hypnum, is the bright yellow-green moss that forms dense deep cushions by almost every moist shaded roadside in inland country regions. It is abundant in moist pastures and open woods, and sometimes makes its most luxuriant growth in a sphagnum bog. It is so common. Fig. 56.
