"About Anomodon viticulosus, you will find it in plenty against a
large
rock near the base of that footpath descending
from Goat Island to the top
of the American
falls. You know that there are two ways of going there: the
broad way by stairs and aside of it, on the right
a small slippery foot

it is on this foot path about halfway down

grows. I never found it in America

My Dear Sir.
Your of
the 10th inst. is received. Of the mosses you send "No 1 Dry
rock Niagara Falls" is especially
interesting. At first sight it appears
much like small Barbula
unguiculata but it is not that species. I think it
is Didymodon luridus but the fruit is yet so
young I can not get the
character derived from
the peristome. If you can get some of it say about
Sept. 1st it will remove all doubt. The species
is described in the Manual
and said to have been found at Niagara Falls by Drummond, but it is not
given in the Catalogue of the "Musci
exsiccata" whence I conclude it is
very scarce and a most
desirable acquisition. Please look after it a little
two or three weeks
hence. …
Yours
truly
Charles
Peck
From a letter from Leo Lesquereux to George
Clinton, October 16, 1865 (BUF archives): "I would like to see a true
Didymodon luridus from the falls. Trichostomum
(Didymodon) rigidulum Smith. has been found there
by Drummond and myself on
stones near the base of the falls, Canada
side; but D. luridus is still
unknown or not

Though the fruit of your Didymodon
is not ripe, I am pretty
sure that it is the D. rubellus."

2005 Rare Plant Bryophyte Status List. S3.
Coe Finch Austin's publication of the name "Didymodon?
[sic] diversifolius" in the "Musci Appalachiani: tickets of
specimens of mosses collected mostly in the eastern part of North
America" number 115.
1870 is D. tophaceus according to R. van der Wijk, W. D. Margadant and P. A.
Florschütz (1962). The two syntypes of
this species include one near Newville in Herkimer County, New York and the
other is "About Niagara Falls, S. T. Olney", giving another type
locality to the Niagara Falls area.
An interesting label on a sheet for Didymodon tophaceus at NY reads
"Slate rocks, under the Horseshoe Falls at Niagara,
N.Y., Brother Leon. July 25, 1927" It is
glued to the sheet down from a specimen from the moss herbarium of Eugene A.
Rau and it indicates that Brother Leon visited Niagara Falls and ventured on
the talus slopes at the river's edge. Slate, of course, is a metamorphic
rock, and shale is the slate‑like rock at Niagara.
Macoun (p.47, 1892) cited a specimen collected by
Olney for Niagara Falls, presumably Ontario (as Trichostomum tophaceum, Brid.).

The leaf shape is rather like Eurynchium, Brachythecium rivulare and other species: the short leaf cells (3‑4:1),
especially short in the apex, are
reminiscent of Amblystegiaceae, the inflated basal cells look like many other
species; the margins are crenulate-dentate; the twisted apex is indicative of
Brachytheciaceae. Note the tiny papillae at the apices of the cells on the
backs of the leaves, often seen on leaves that are bent or curved over.
