MR. W. MITTEN ON NEW SPECIES OF MUSCI FROM CEYLON. 805 
Hab. Ins. Ceylon, Dr. Thwaites. 
Caulis lineam altus. Folia sesquilineam longa, pallide viridia, limbo 
dilute flavo.  Pedunculus quadrilinearis ruber. 
In its apiculate leaves this somewhat resembles E. physcomi- 
trioides, Mont. (Funaria); but their margins are distinctly lim- 
bate, and the capsule is gymnostomous. 
TAxronia, Hook. 
T. IMBRICATA, Thw. et Mitt. 
Monoica; caulis humilis, inferne radiculosus ; folia imbricata, obovata, 
obtusa, excavata, nervo in mucronem patulum recurvumve sublevem 
exeurrente, margine apicis denticulis paucis brevibus serrato, cellulis 
oval-hexagonis areolata; perichetialia conformia; vaginula pilis 
paucis elongatis exsertis hirta; pedunculus crassus, pallidus ; theca 
cylindracea, operculo convexo acuminato; peristomii dentes carnosuli, 
8. Calyptra tenuimembranacea, nitida, pilis elongatis divaricatis de- 
pendentibusque hirsuta.

nusque asymmetricis ramosus, radicellis brevibus rubris corpusculisque 
tubulosis haustellariiformibus fuscis ex axillis foliorum egredientibus 
sparsim vestitus ; folia opposita, plana, ambitu suboblongo-ovata, inz-
