RAF, det. CDP, conf. DTH (BBSUK, DTH) (Preston & Finch

both from traditionally managed fields used to grow bulbs and
other flowers. A specimen collected in Apr. 2005 has several
small tufts of this distinctive species on silty soil with Barbula convoluta, Bryum rubens, Dicranella
staphylina,
Leptophascum leptophyllum, Trichodon cylindricus
and Phascum
cuspidatum.
The only specimens are non-fertile but have
abundant rhizoidal tubers.
