A Schlotheimia tecla Hook. & Wils. differt: statu graciliore, 
foliis indistinete flexis, nec spiraliter tortis, perichaetialibus 
arista alata, exciso-denteta acuminatis, nes nervo excurrente 
aristatis, laevibus; calyptra 6-appendiculata, breviore, nee basi 
multifida; a Schl, appressifolia Mitt, proxima differt: foliis mar- 
ginibus involutis apice eroso-dentalis, subserrulatis, strietioribus, 
nec apice semitortis. An eadem ? e deseriplione pauperrima 
non elucet.
