marked character. In S. trachyphyllus the lamina is approximately equal to 
the base, or but little longer ; in S. albifrons it is from 14 to 3 times the 
length of the base. 
SYRRHOPODON (Eu-syrrhopodon $ Cavifolii) Lepruanus, C. Muell., MS. 
in litt. ad E. Levier. (Pl. 26. fig. 3.) 
Planta robustiuseula, subrigida, pallide vel intense viridis; caulis circa 
2 cm. altus. Folia e basi vaginante adpressa erecto-patentia substricta, sicca 
| parum mutata, leniter rigide curvata, 3—4 тт. longa, e basi anguste oblonga 
raptim in laminam peranguste linearem planam circa duplo longiorem con- 
tracta, apice obtuso grosse eroso-dentato ; lamino ad marginem per $ longi- 
tudinem angustissime hyalino-limbata, integerrima, apicem versus . dense 
serrulata ; cellule ovales subrotundæ, obscure, 5-7 ш late, dorso. praecipue 
ad marginem grosse alte papilluse ; costa infra apicem desinens, dorso spiculis 
dense confertis scaberrima. Folii basis cellulis perangustis seriebus pluribus 
flavidis marginata, superne 2-6 spiculis utrinque ciliata. Cancellina e cellulis 
hyalinis laxiusculis elongate rectangularibus instructa. Bractez perichætiales 
а foliis vix diverse. Seta 1 cm., rubra ; theca parva, subcylindrica, erecta, 
calyptra apice scaberula, operculo subulato-rostrato recto, peristomii. den- 
tibus late lanceolatis grosse tuberculatis.

Nearly allied to 5. mammillosus, C. Muell., but that has the leaves dis- 
tinetly patent, the cells without the high spiculose papillæ, and the border 
of the leaf-base pectinate with numerous long closely-set cilia. Here the cilia 
are extremely few in number, often reduced to two or three, and sometimes 
almost obsolete. It is a much larger, more robust plant with longer leaves 
than ©. spiculosus and 9. trachyphyllus.

The character italicized is marked, but does rot seem of sufficient im- 
portance to warrant a higher than varietal distinction. 
SYRRHOPODON (Eu-syrrhopodon $ Tristichi) PATULIFOLIUs, Thér. & Dixon, 
sp. nov. (РІ. 26. fig. 4.) 
Habitu S. tristicht Nees sed paullo gracilior. Cæspites densi, superne 
pallidi infra fusci; caulis simplex vel subsimplex, circa 4 ст. altus, gracilis, 
strictus, a foliorum distantium vaginis albidis nitescens. Folia subtristicha, 
remotiuscula, e basi vaginante brevi abrupte (sicca madidaque) patula vel 
siccitate recurva, 5—7 mm. longa, lamina peranguste lineali marginibus supra 
ineurvis acuta cellula apicali spiculiformi mucronata ; limbo hyalino, areo- 
latione costaque eis 5. Ledruant subsimilibus, sed cancellinæ cellulis ubique
