312 MR. W. MITTEN ON NEW SPECIES OF MUSCI FROM CEYLON. 
acuminata, immarginata, subserrata ; theca in pedunculo brevi ubique 
setulis brevibus obtecto, breviter ovalis collo attenuato, horizontalis, 
operculo conico tenuirostri; peristomium dentibus lamina exteriore 
per lineam mediam divisa, latioribus, internum equilongum, pro- 
eessibus in membrana usque ad 3 dentium longitudinis exserta im- 
positis; calyptra pilis hyalinis obtecta basique fimbriata. 
Hab. Ins. Ceylon, Dr. Thwaites. 
Caulis unciam altus, cum foliis lineas duas latus. Folia pallide viridia, 
sicca scariosa nitida, cellulis sub lente iridicoloribus. Pedunculus bi- 
linearis, pallidus, setulis ad flexuram, ubi in collum thece transit, parum 
longioribus surrectis. 
Smaller than Æ. remotifolius, C. Muller, Bryol. Javan. t. 157 
but the peduncle less setulose. 
GAROVAGLIA, Endl. 
G. DENSIFOLIA, Thw. et Mitt. 
Caulesdense congesti, rigidi, crassi, teretes; folia dense inserta, imbricata, 
oblonga, infra medium parum latiora, apice obtusa cum apiculo brevi 
recurvo, concava, plicis 2-4 levibus exarata, haud excavata, brevis- 
sime fere obsolete binervia, margine basis late implana, apicem versus 
minute serrulata, cellulis oblongis oblique seriatis, alaribus parvis 
quadratis flavis areolata ; perichzetia exserta, obconica, foliis orbiculari- 
obovatis vaginantibus, apicibus acuminatis patentibus integerrimis ; 
theca oblonga, immersa, operculo acuminato parum obliquo, peristo- 
mium infra thecx os impositum, dentibus parvis horizontalibus inflex- 
isve rubris teneris cohzrentibus liberisve. 
Hab. Ins. Ceylon, Dr. Thwaites. 
Caulis 1-3 uncias altus, cum foliis 2 lineas crassus. Folia superiora 
straminea, inferiora fuscescentia, perichetialia supra orificium thee 
cupulatim expansa. 
This agrees with G. plicata (Nees ab E.) in its immersed cap- 
sule, but is immediately distinguished by its wide, short, pointed 
leaves. 
From G. aristata, V. d. Bosch et Lac. Bryol. Javan. t. 185, it 
differs in the more nearly oblong form of its leaves, and also in the 
form of those belonging to the perichetium. 
The following sketeh of the species certainly known to belong 
to the genus Garovaglia will show the positions assignable to the 
additions here proposed :—
