Notes:
Keying to microcarpon in Smith's British Flora. N.B.: Allan Fife and David Glenny searched the summit plateau of Stony Bay Peak and nearby Berard Peak on 13 Sept. 1996 and were unable to relocate Racomitrium squarrosum at these localities. We concluded that this species no longer grows at Stony Bay Peak, perhaps due to habitat modification since Macmillan made her collection in 1972. There are few, if any, bare soil sites suitable for colonisation by Racomitrium in 1996. Fire may have played a role in eliminating this population.
