496 MR. E. S. SALMON : REVISION 
The leaves in shape and areolation seem to refer this moss to 
the genus Symblepharis, but as only very old capsules, with no 
trace of peristome, have been found, its true position, as Mitten 
3. p. 330) says, must remain at present doubtful. I find that 
the cells of the upper part of the leaf, which are quadrate, not 
* rotundatus " as described, are papillose on both sides, with the 
exception of the back of the nerve (P1. 26. fig. 32). The elongated 
rectangular cells of the base are smooth (fig. 31). The nerve is 
more robust in the subula tban lower down. 
Should this moss prove to be a Symblepharis, it will differ 
from all present described species in the papillose cells.

As pointed out by Mitten (1), the habit of this species 18 
entirely that of the Indian * Leptotrichum himalayanum," and 
it is interesting to find in the leaves of the present species just 
the same kind of variation. 
The leaves of S. Reinwardti, Mitt., are described as serrulate 
above, with a nerve rough at back above. Frequently, however, 
the margin is subentire, and the nerve shows only one or two 
minute protuberances, and occasionally a quite entire margin and 
smooth nerve is found. 
In many instances the shape of the leaf is identical in th 
species, but I believe barren plants can be separated safely by 
observing the following characters. 
The leaf-base of S. Aelicophylla is formed of wider, quad-
