*1: Rocks in stream,
Kynance Cove, Lizard, Apr. 1958, TL (Warburg 1961: 173, Paton
1969a: 753). CHECK whereabouts of
voucher.
*2: Dripping well,
Porthluney Cove, 1929, DGC (BBSUK) (Paton
1969a: 753).
A recent molecular study (Aigoin et al. 2009) did not
resolve R. litorea and R. curviseta as
different from each other or from R. teneriffae,
suggesting their taxonomic treatment as distinct spp. may need
reassessment.
At the site W. of Trevenwith it grew on wet rocks
very close to water level of stream and in trickles and splash
from waterfalls, partly shaded by deciduous trees; associates
included algae, Cratoneuron filicinum
and Platyhypnidium
riparioides.
One record c.fr.: capsules immature
10.
