Abstract
The present paper is concerned with certain features of the growth cycle, both vegetative and reproductive, of the moss <i>Scorpidium scorpioides</i>. Some ecological factors are also discussed. Positive hygrotropism which occurs in young shoots prevents mosses from desiccation. Capsules of <i>Scorpidium scorpioides</i> are rare in Boland. <i>S. scorpioides</i> is markedly intolerant of shade and this may be a restricting factor in its competition with other plants. Experiments and literature indicate that <i>S. scorpioides</i> is indiifferent t to lime and can tolerate sites poor in calcium ions.
