Five or more patches of varing sizes along the south facing side of the church on crumbly limestone. (If you visit this site please do not collect any material as this is a very rare species in the UK).
Didymodon rivicula, det Jan Kucera
In flush
In a flush with obviously some basic influence
In valley mire under slight shading from trees nearby. Stem leaves triangular tougue shaped with blunt apex with a more or less fringed tip. Branches ill differentiated. Lack of any pink pigmentation present.
mit Perianthien
Chalk quarry floor. Fertile. Mid leaf cells 25-30 wide, cortex cells 16-30 wide. Leaves slightly decurrent.
stomata kryptopor, vag. with long hairs
On bank with other bryophytes at edge of felled pine plantation. Leaves up to 2mm long. Capsules 1mm not including point. Looks like capsule has peristome teeth.
On a burr on Acer campestre 1m above the ground. A very rare species in East England. Cells 5-6 micrometers wide with some in upper leaf reaching 7.5. A new Vice County record for Huntingdonshire
On oak. Deciduous branchlets present
On deadwood
Branch of birch on the shore
Chalk grassland
On the lower horizontal branch of aged Betula pubescenes tree 20m from loch side
On Betula pubescenes. Note recurved teeth on leaf tip
Epiphytic - fairly frequent on lower branhes and trunks of older downy birch trees in the woodland / ex wood pasture
On aged Betula pubescenes tree branch and trunk
On this gritstone rock were lots of small, green patches of Leptodontium flexifolium and also a patch of older brown shoots about 2.5cm long. I've included this as the old shoots look very different to the shorter, green shoots.
On sandstone. Plants lack flagelliform branches. Perianth trigonous to base.
Growing on a small piece of limestone partially embedded in the ground in a larch plantation surrounded by deciduous woodland(presumably was also deciduous woodland a while back)
Igneous rock outcrop in Cressbrook dale
Appressed to surface of limestone rock wall among limestone granules. Leaves about 1mm long.
On oolitic limestone. Capsule mammilate. Basal cells to 8x as long as wide
Hard to photograph this very small species in situ! but this is Didymodon glaucus at it's only known remaining locality in the UK in north Wiltshire. Habitat is very shaded chalk talus in a small abandoned quarry. Reminded me of Didymodon umbrosus but the leaves a brighter green and less arching away from the stem. Upper leave irregularly crenulate, basal cells hyaline and slightly enlarged, leaf margins recurved.
In crevice underneath sandstone rock overhang. Very awkward angle to get photos, and no sample as only a small amount. It was definitely glowing!
On wet sandstone rock wall shaded by trees. Leaves about 1mm long. No capsules.
Over rocks mixed with other liverworts. Lobes mostly apiculate, gemmae absent.
Growing amongst Tortula subulata and other bryophytes on basalt cliffs but not in gorge
Leaves untoothed
On shaded, damp limestone rock.
On unshaded limestone rocks on the side of the dale. Shoots up to 1cm tall, leaves about 2mm long with white hair points. Lower cells sinuose. Appear to have 4 guide cells in lower section of leaves.
With copious brown gemmae. On mineral soil bank in old quarry
Growing in small trickle on side of hill in limestone grassland with Calliergonella cuspidata.
Very slender shoots, with red stems and slightly curved tips.
Leaves curved to one side, 1.5mm long, not plicate below.
Perigonial bracts pointed, 2mm long.
Cf S. subsecundum. Growing with S. pulchrum on edge of mire in good condition with some flushing
On foredunes. 'Cross walls' present on exostome, base of leaf red.
We could only find one on flower this year within the west pit and road verge areas - very disappointing compared to other years
Terrestrial, near water (small bridge).
Terrestrial, bog, above water.
On mobile dunes
On the muddy edge of a pool. First time I've noted that cells in mid leaf of broad stem leaves longer than those of the branch leaves.
Think... this might be L. badensis given leaf shape and decurrency
I found this 2 years ago and didn't know what it was, but now I realise it is Leptodontium flexifolium so I thought it would be worth logging correctly. Growing at the side of the track in upland oak woodland. I found some more not far away.
On limestone rock wall in shaded gully. Leaves just over 1mm long.
On oolitic limestone. Confirmed by national BBS referee
On imported carboniferous limestone
On shaded wet soil at base of ghyll in woodland
Seems to like being near open grown pine trees in sand heath 'savanna'. Growing intermixed with Hypnum cupressiforme var lacunosum in one photo
On horizontal dead birch trunk of wide diameter
On bare chalky soil in old 'clunch pit'. Margins plane (unlike T. muralis var aestiva). Bright green. Confirmed as new V.C record by BBS
On limestone / clay. Plants synecious. BT1
On shallow, rather compacted, peat
