Locality:
Switzerland, Canton Bern, top of the Niesen
Elevation:
2250-2300 meters
(7380-7544ft)
Occurrence Remarks:
Dr. Culmann considers this a variety or sub- species of Barbula rufa. Loeske at first thought it nearest to Barbula reflexa, but later he recognized with Dr. Culmann that it really stood nearest to Barbula rufa, from which it probably cannot be separated specifically.
