Rhabdoweisia is not a genus I've had much experience of, so I'd welcome any advice on this one. The habitat (above) and lack of a peristome on most capsules say
fugax, but the leaves seem to say
crispata (i.e. cell width in upper part of leaves mostly 12-15µm, leaf lamina avge cell count at 220µm from leaf tip =7 and rounded leaf shape with irregular teeth).
Cynodontium bruntonii was the only direct associate, but others on the same crag included
Racomitrium aquaticum, Andreaea rothii subsp
. falcata, Diplophyllum albicans, etc.

| Marsupella marginata var. marginata was frequent including patches in fruit |
That toothed leaf apex says R crispata to me - an excellent record in VC41!
ReplyDeleteGreat record Barry. Where is that site?
ReplyDeleteThanks Sam, I was hoping you were going to say that. Charles, there is a line of crags as you head north from Craig-cefn-parc. I've spent couple of 30 minute sessions now and had a couple of nice things in the two short sections I've looked at. Access is easy all the way along. The Rhabdoweisia was at SN68000537 or there abouts. There's not a lot of it from what I could see in my brief search, though I did see it in a couple of spots. I parked at the farm and told them what I was doing (to which the lady jovially said "oo it sounds really boring"!), but it's on the common and there's good parking just to the south.
ReplyDeleteThanks Barry.
