Equisetum palustre var, polystachyon is the only uncommon
Horsetail which has hitherto been found here.
The common Mosses are abundant here, and some species may be
found which are very scarce in Great Britain, and are only

Zygodon mangestii, in crevices of rocks, without fruit, on
Kirkstone.
Gymnostomum rupestre, on wet rocks Helvellyn; G.
Griffithanum on Red Screes, Wrynose and Fairfield.
Dyphisicum foliosum on rocks and crevices of rocks, Rydal

Weissia denticulata on rocks, Grasmere Fells; W.
tenuirostris, in Troutbeck and at Cook's House, near
Windermere.
Grimmia spiralis and torta below Red Screcs, Kirkstone, but
not in fruit.
Orthotrichum rupincola on walls by Mardale and Haweswater;
0. aristatum on trees in Rydal Park and elsewhere.
