Most records were of small cushions or patches on
tree bark, usually with no other patch nearby. Mainly recorded
on Grey Willow, few records on Hazel, Ash saplings, and once
each on elm sapling, hybrid poplar sapling, Sycamore and on Salix caprea. Recorded
from sheltered locations which were not heavily shaded, e.g.
in scrub at edge of dunes, in open scrub near stream, and in
open grove of deciduous trees on side of small valley. Two
records on banks of R Tamar on steep, silted bark within
flood-zone. Associates recorded are Frullania dilatata, Homalothecium sericeum
Orthotrichum
affine, Ulota
bruchii. Two records from old masonry: on mortared
stonework of top of bridge and a small patch on old horizontal
concrete at edge of deciduous woodland. Single record from
granitic boulder lightly shaded by edge of Grey Willow scrub
beside china-clay pit (JAP had single record on
serpentinite).

capsules]: capsules immature 1-5, 9-12; dehiscing 1-3, 5, 12;
dehisced [1 old], 3, 5, 6, 8-12.
