Not illustrated. 1904 Excerpt: ...to base of capsule, and more faintly on neck; when dry and empty the capsule becomes narrower, elongate-fusiform, contracted at and sometimes below the mouth, deeply sulcate from the mouth to the base of the neck, the striae sometimes slightly spirally twisted; cells of exothecium small, 10-20 / wide, stomata small, about 30 /x wide, in numerous (4-6) rows; lid with a straight subulate beak; calyptra variously hairy; peristome usually single, of 16 white, Ungulate, somewhat irregular teeth reflexed or spreading and recurved when dry; occasionally rudimentary inner processes are present.

Bruchii. The capsule in the present species is rather larger, and in my experience of a rather brighter, more reddish tinge. The striae in U. Bruchii are also straighter and less frequently spirally oblique.

The cells of the exothecium are much smaller than in U. Bruchii, the stomata much more numerous, in several rows, and markedly smaller.
