Much like small forms forme^ from which it differs in the broadly oval gradually acu- minate leaves, with borders entire or very slightly serrulate below the ajiex, by the j)rotrusion of the marginal cells, the quadrate smaller upper cells, and the short thick pedicel of the oval obconical capsule, which is slightly constricted under the broad orifice, rugose and gradually passing into a thick unde- fined collum. The annulus is thick, broad and persistent, adhering to the orifice or falling piecemeal. — Icon. Muse, under t. 30. Gymnostomum turbinatum, Michx. Fl. ii. 286. G. latifoUum^ Drumm. Muse.
