Mr. English recorded this species as in fruit in Epping
Forest, but the fruit on all his specimens belongs to
Webera nutans which was mixed with the Leucobryum.
In Essex Naturalist, VI. (1881), Mr. Waller, of
Tottenham, records the fruiting of this species in the
forest. I have seen no fruiting specimen from the
county.
