times heavily so and reddish-brown cuticle usually densely papillose, sometimes with conical protrusions on back of leaf below sinus. Underleaves present on sterile stems, subulate to lanceolate and bilobed, 40-90(-120) pm, entire or toothed. Gemmae common, ±ellipsoid, reddish-brown to purplish, (l-)2-celled, (12-) 16-26 pm long, 10-16 pm wide. The most distinctive features of the species (SMITH 1990), like the presence of underleaves on sterile stems, toothed leaf margins, papillose leaf cuticle, non-angular or non-papillose gemmae can be easily recognised on the material. The plant was fertile with lots of capsules and perianths. It is interesting, because fertile plants are quite rare (SMITH 1990) (Fig. 1 ). In the valley of the "Tolvajos" stream, close to this location, a former colour mill used to make brown colour from limonite (bog-iron). The limonite-rich springs paint the stream brick-red, and the water of the stream paints the base of the "Kalibáskő" rock as well. This metal-rich substrate could be similar to mine-spoils has reported Cephaloziella massalongi in Europe (SMITH 1990). Fig. 1. Cephaloziella massalongi: A = underleaves from sterile stems; B = leaves from sterile stems; C = lobe of leaf from sterile stem; D and E = sterile shoots with entire and dentate leaves; F = leaf from shoot 5 in side view; G = gemmae (SMITH 1990).
