64 MR. W. MITTEN ON THE MOSSES OF THE EAST INDIES. 
mollibus tenerioribus, cellulis distinetioribus, nervo angustiore et am- 
bitu longiore ; a secundo, cellulis magis affinis, nervo autem longe an- 
gustiore statim dignoscitur. A P. uncinata longe diversa. 
20. P. sPECIOSA (Bartramia, Griff. Not. p. 439 ; Icon. Plant. Asiat. ii. 
t. 101. f. 1). Dioica, ceespitosa, caule brevi, foliis laxis patentibus con- 
cavis ovato-lanceolatis apice semitortis nervo tenui excurrente cari- 
natis marginibus basi tantum recurvis minute serrulatis, cellulis angus- 
tissimis elongatis ad angulos paucis oblongis, perichzetialibus lanceo- 
lato-subulatis, theca in peduneulo elongato globosa gibba inclinata 
plicata, peristomio dentibus brevibus interno processibus apice punc- 
tulatis ciliis duobus irregularibus interpositis. 
Hab. In mont. Khasian. in ripis arenosis, Grifitk! In Nepal, Wallich ! 
Rami steriles sesquiunciales crassiuscule plumosi, foliis siccis humi- 
disque patentibus; fertiles breves semunciales, pedunculo unciali. 
Theca magna. 
Species distinctissima crassitudine ramorum, Bartramie tomentose 
similis. 
21. P. longicollis, Hampe. (B. Hookeri, Wils. l. c. p. 369.—B. dicra- 
noidea, ejusd. l.e. p. 369.) 
Hab. In Himalayz orient. reg. temp., Sikkim, J. D. Hooker! (No. 580, 
581, 583, 585, 594). 
5. BREUTELIA, Schimp. 
1. B. Inp1ca (Mitten). Caule elato ramoso tomentoso, foliis nitidis 
e basi erecta subquadrata superne dilatata divaricatis subulato-lan- 
ceolatis acuminatis inferne plieis angustis exaratis apice subtortis 
nervo tenui excurrente marginibus serrulatis, cellulis basi utrinque 
ad latera majoribus in serie unica dispositis eaterum omnibus con- 
formibus angustis elongatis papillosis, perichztialibus erectis apice 
latioribus nervo evanescente, theca in pedunculo brevi apice curvato 
globoso-pyriformi plicata horizontali. 
Hab. In mont. Nilghiri, Gardner. In Himalaye orient. reg. alp. 
(forma minor foliis magis deflexis = B. defleza, Wils. in Sched.), 
Sikkim, J. D. Hooker ! (No. 592). 
B. gigantee ex icone Schweegr. similis, sed foliis densioribus. Pedun- 
culus trilinearis gracilis.  Peristomium, quantum in thecis vetustis ob- 
servari potest, normale. 
2. B. dieranacea. (Bartramia; C. Müller, Bot. Zeit. 1853, p. 57.) 
Hab. In mont. Nilghiri, Schmid! 
Structura foliorum, e descriptione, a B. Indica diversa.
