Grimmia apocarpa Hedw. View in CoL

There are sixteen peristome cells, the membranes of which have two or more thickened cords on the inner side of the capsule, and they anastomose, explaining the cribrose aspect of the peristome teeth.

In Grimmia apocarpa a separation of the outer capsule membrane and the spore sac was not visible, at least in the state of age that I examined the capsule; see also the figure in Schleiden’s Grundzüge, 2. Ed. Vol. I. p. 73.
