MOSSES OF NEW ZEALAND. 449 
Bryum INCURVIFOLIUM, C. Muell. Mt. Cook district (Murray, No. 88). 
A tall plant, some 3 inches high, the stems falling apart readily, and evidently 
growing deeply embedded in sand. I have compared it with a specimen of 
C. Müllers original plant (Kaipara, leg. Mossman) at Kew, with whieh it 
entirely agrees except in the taller habit, and in having the apex of the leaf 
sometimes obscurely dentieulate, while in the original it is usually quite 
entire, rarely faintly sinuate. C. Müller deseribes the nerve in his plant аз 
exeurrent, but I have found it as a rule at the most percurrent, only rarelv 
barely excurrent as a short and indistinct mucro. The name is not very 
appropriate, for the leaves are not incurved in any marked degree as compared 
with others of the group. 
B. Ноттохи, В. Br. ter. Mt. Cook district (Murray, №. 80). А tall 
robust paludal moss, with large. obtuse, subeucullate leaves, allied to 
B. lævigatum. Tt agrees with a specimen of B. НиНони in the herbarium 
of the late В. Brown of Christchurch ; but ах to the validity of the species 
I am not at present able to speak. [t appears, however, to be a good species, 
and well distinct from B. lerigatum on the one hand, and В. eximium, Mitt., 
on the other. 
B. LEPTOTHECIUM, Tayl. Waitakarei Hills (Murray, No. 11), efr. Mt. 
Cook district (Murray, No. 69), cfr: det. Brotherus. А slender form with 
the comal leaves more erect and imbricated when moist than usual, as in 
В. campylothecium, but with the strong border that ix wanting in that species. 
Mt. Cook district (Murray, Nos. 89, 114), c.fr.: det. Brotherus. Both these 
numbers represent a form with an excessively wide border, especially towards 
the apex, where the two borders often become confluent, and form a colour- 
less, scarious tip to the leaf ; but this character varies a good deal even on 
the same plant, and they probably belong to the somewhat polymorphic 
В, leptothecium.
