*2: Brown Willy, 1918,
FR (BM) (Paton 1969a: 702-703). This record
is older than those
given as new for vc2 by Paton (1962: 360 which was
erroneous, and 1963: 487).
Habitat notes from Cornwall are as follows.
Numerous records amongst living sphagna and on moribund
sphagna, small-sedge debris and damp peat in mires, normally
unshaded (but persisting in part-shaded areas when Grey Willow
colonises). Associates recorded in mires include Calypogeia fissa, Calypogeia
muelleriana, Cephalozia
bicuspidata, Dicranella
heteromalla, Kurzia
pauciflora, Lophozia ventricosa,
Mylia anomala, Odontoschisma sphagni,
Riccardia
multifida, Sphagnum
capillifolium; Drosera rotundifolia,
Erica tetralix. On
decaying litter low on Molinia tussocks and
on wet peaty debris in mires (with Calypogeia fissa, Calypogeia arguta, Calypogeia
muelleriana, Cephalozia
bicuspidata, Kurzia
pauciflora, Riccardia latifrons).
Also damp peat of low bank beside acidic flush (near Kurzia sylvatica, Mylia anomala, etc.).
NW. of Boskednan (vc1): on peaty humus at base of old Rhododendron bush,
partly shaded, at edge of wet overgrown track through scrub
and woodland.
Most often non-fertile; often c.per. (1, 2, 5, 8);
occasionally (?) c.fr.: immature 2.
