It has a ready mode of multi- plying by its abundant stolons and is also proliferous (Synop. Muse. Frond, 1: 247, 1849,) " Planta e perigonio saepe ; (Dixon and Jameson, Handbook Brit. Mosses, p. 341): "The stems are frequently continued beyond one rosette, subsequently forming another and innovations are pro- duced below the ; The statement is often made by authors that it rarely fruits, probably more rarely in Europe than in America. This is so much the case in Great Britain that Dixon and Jameson call special atten- tion to it (1. c,, p. 341) : " The fruit is exceedingly rare and has only been found in three or four British ; With an experience of more than thirty years, during which the moss has frequently been observed or col- lected, I have found it fruiting but twice, at Miller, Indiana, 1878, and the same year at Boyne Falls, Michigan. These branched paraphyses are from 1-2 mm. long (mostly mm.) and are generally provided with a single branch, sometimes two. As shown in the ilmstration, Fig. i, the branches originate from the e
