The Long-leaved Bartramia is common throughout our range â whenever the country affords a suitable habitat, but the Short- leaved Bartramia is rather rare. The difference between the species as shown in the figures is so marked that they cannot be â confused. Both species mature their capsules in spring; the Long- leaved Bartramia in April or early May, and the Short-leaved two or three weeks later. PHILONOTIS. P. FONTANA (L.) Brid. is the only species of Philonotis likely to be met with, is very common where water drips or runs in shallow streams over rocks. When in fruit it may be mistaken for a Bartramia on account of the similarity of the â capsules. The capsules of Philonotis, however, have a protuber- ance on the lower side that is entirely lacking in Bartramia. Philonotis grows in much wetter places, has much longer, -more slender stems that are often fasciculately branching at the â top; shorter, more acute leaves, and is dioicous. The male heads .are conspicuous objects among the fruiting plants, though sel-.
