Horton DG and Murray BM. 1976. Encalypta brevipes and E. mutica, Gymnostomous Species New to North America. The Bryologist. 79(3):321-331
(Adapted from authors' abstract.) Encalypta brevipes Schljakov is reported new to North America from the southern Ogilvie Mountains, Yukon, Canada, and from the Alaska and Brooks Ranges, Alaska. Encalypta mutica Hagen is also reported new to North America from the Jasper, Mountain Park, and Banff regions, Alberta, Canada; the Nahoni range of the Ogilvie Mountains, Yukon; and the Brooks Range. Both species are described and illustrated. A key to North American gymnostomous species of Encalypta is included. SEM (scanning electron microscopy) micrographs of spores of E. brevipes and E. mutica reveal significant differences in ultrastructure.
