DISTRIBUTION : 
South America—New Granada: Paramo Choaché, 3600 mtr. 
(A. Lindig, 1860, no. 2130). 
Bolivia: prov. Larecaja, Sorata, 3400 mtr. (G. Mandon, 1858, 
no. 1656); prov. Cochebamba, near Choquecamata (Germain, 
1889). 
Ecuador: Andes of Quito, Pallatenga, 6000 ft. (Spruce, 
no. 26 b). 
Spruce’s Pallatenga plant, of which there are specimens in 
the Kew Herbarium correctly named S. Lindigii, is, by a slip, 
referred to as belonging to S. helicophylla, Mont., by Mitten (2), 
and consequently the latter species is wrongly recorded from this 
locality. 
The leaves of S. Lindigii are quite entire, and more or less 
transversely undulate above when wet; the nerve is smooth at 
back. Thespores are rough with minute warts, just as in S. helico- 
phylla, var. macrospora. 
The Bolivian plant has lately been separated as a distinct 
species by Müller (9) under the name of S. boliviana. 
Hampe's original description of S. Lindigii differs from that 
of S. boliviana in the following points :—seta erecta, theca cylin- 
drica, peristomii dentibus integris vel parum fissis. 
Müller (9) remarks on his plant, **Fructibus ditissimis minute 
oblongis in pedicello Campylopodis instar humore curvato dis- 
positis prima fronte ab omnibus congeneribus distincta." 
There are Bolivian specimens collected by Mandon (no. 1656) 
in the Kew Herbarium (quoted by Müller as 8. boliviana). 
The sete of these become curved when wet, as Müller says, 
though in these examples not to such a degree as to suggest à 
Campylopus. 
But in Hampe’s type of S. Lindigii, at the British Museum 
(Natural History), the sete when wetted become slowly curved,
