Specimen notes
Supplementary remarks:
I am perplexed by this collection which I can only guess is a Pylaisiella. I am bothered by the inclined capsules and the presence of foliose paraphyllia on the stems.
Paraphyllia present; alar group large, of quadrate cells; costae mostly nil; peristome hypnaceous; cilia single and not obviously adherent to teeth; leaves c. 0.6-0.8 mm, obtusely serrulate/crenulate above; laminal cells oblong-vermiculate, not obviously papillose or prorate.
