L. HYALINUM (Mitten) Dioicum? caule elongato ramoso, foliis 
erecto-patentibus e basi elongata elliptica convoluta hyalino-marginata 
subulato-angustatis, nervo subulam superiorem totam occupante apice 
parce denticulato, cellulis inferioribus elongatis subparallelogramma- 
ticis sensim superne in minutes rotundatas transeuntibus firmis, peri- 
cheetialibus basi latiore longioreque vaginantibus, theca in pedunculo 
luteo-fusco ovali-cylindracea. 
Didymodon longifolius, var. 2. tenuifolius, Hook. fil. et Wils. Crypt. 
Antarct. p. 102. 
Hab. On the ground on the hills, Hermite Island, Cape Horn, and in 
the Falkland Islands, Dr. J. D. Hooker. 
In habit similar to L. Hookeri, C. Müll., but in the outline of its 
leaves more like L. australe; readily distinguished frora both by the 
hyaline margins of its leaves. The male flower has not been seen. 
L. OLprizLp1 (Mitten). Monoicum,. habitu LL. affinis, foliis е basi 
lata oblongo-ovata erecta longe subulatis patentibus apice parcissime 
denticulatis, cellulis angustis elongatis sensim superne brevioribus 
firmis nervo subulam superiorem totam occupante canaliculatis, peri- 
chetialibus basi longiore latioreque elliptica convolutis, theca in pe- 
dunculo elongato setate rubro cylindracea arcuata, flore masculo 
gemmiformi brevifolioso in foliorum caulinorum axillis. 
Hab. In Tasmania, Mr. Oldfield, No. 154. 
Very near to L. affine, C. Müll, in size and appearance, but with 
leaves about twice as wide at the oblong base, and thence subulate. 
L. capillaceum (Distichium; B.  S.). 
Hab. Tasmania, behind Cumming’s Head, Western Mountains, with 
Conostomum pusillum, Mr. Archer. 
L. FERRUGINEUM (Mitten). Dioicum, caulibus cespitosis, radiculis fer- 
rugineis dense intertextis, foliis e basi erecta ovali-oblonga sensim 
attenuatis patentibus integerrimis nervo percurrente cellulis basi 
utrinque ad margines pluribus oblongis quadratisque parallelogram- 
maticis superioribus inzqualibus perichetialibus conformibus, theca 
in pedunculo rubro erecta globoso-ovata, operculo conico rostrato, 
peristomio e dentibus latis rubris dicranoideis annulo latiusculo com- 
posito. 
Hab. On the ground, plain behind Cumming's Head, Western Moun- 
tains, Tasmania, Mr. Archer. 
Whole plant dull ferruginous-green. Stems from half an inch to 
one inch in height. In general appearance it has some resemblance to 
L. Jamesoni ( Dicranum), Taylor; but it is smaller, compactly czspi- 
tose, and interwoven with intensely ferruginous radieles. The seta is 
about three lines long, rather stout, pale red. The small subglobose 
erect capsule readily distinguishes it from all its allies. ә
