[britishbryologicalsociety.org.uk] Description: Capsules develop over a long period, maturing in the spring. When they are not present, E. vulgaris forms neat little bright green rosettes of leaves that are rather Tortula-like. Like other Encalypta species, the leaves lack any gloss because of their unusual c-shaped cell papillae. (link added by Mary Ann Machi)
