I have compared this plant with a specimen of the New Guinea moss 
(German New Guinea, 1837, leg. Kaernbach, ex herb. Mus. Berolinens.), at 
Kew, and have no doubt they are the same thing, and I should also refer to 
it a plant of Micholitz’s from New Guinea, determined by Brotherus as 
S. Muelleri. "This latter shows very much variation in the leaf-point, some- 
times broad and obtuse, at others subobtuse and cuspidate, and again finely 
drawn out and subulate, all in the limits of a single stem ; the broader 
pointed leaves agreeing exactly with the S. strictifolius, leg. Kaernbach. 
Geheeb has drawn attention to the close resemblance between this and 
S. Muelleri, and I am eonvinced it can rank no higher than a variety of 
that species, a conclusion greatly fortified by its occurrence within the area 
of the typical plant. It scarcely differs except in the colour, usually green 
and not yellowish brown, and the straight, rigid leaves which retain their 
position and form when dry, instead of becoming slightly twisted and 
flexuose, as in the type of 5. Muelleri. 
S. strictifolius, Mitt. 13 a quite different thing.
