DlSTICHOPHYLLUM FASCICULATUM, Mitt. 



Monoicum. Caulis debilis erectus fasciculatim ramosus ruber. Folia 

 compressa omnia conformia, lateralia patentia, oblongo-ovalia obtusa, 

 apiculo brevissimo saepius obsoleto terminata planiuscula, nervo tenui 

 ultra medium evanido, limbo e triplici serie cellularum angustissima- 

 rum marginata integerrima, cellulis hexagonis limpidis areolata; peri- 

 chsetialia erecta interna late ovalia convoluta apice acuta subserruiata 

 immarginata enervia. Theea in pedunculo elongato rubro laevi erecta 

 ovalis, collo sensim angustato. 



Growing in a tufted manner intermixed with Jungermannia colorata. 



Caulis uncialis biuncialisve cum foliis lineam latus. Folia pallide stra- 

 mineo-fusca sicca vix compressa marginibus flexuosis. Pedunculus 

 unciam brevior. 



Like D. sinuosum, but with cells twice as large and an erect 

 capsule. 



D. IMBRICATUM, Mitt. 



Caulis rubro-fuscus fasciculatim ramosus erectus. Folia concava fere 

 teretiuscule imbricata, ad ramorum apices in gemmam subacutam 

 congesta, ovali-oblonga acuta apiculo parvo terminata, limbo e duplici 

 serie cellularum angustissimarum marginata, nervo angusto ultra 

 medium evanescente, cellulis limpidis hexagonis areolata. 



In a scattered manner amongst Gottschea carnosa. 



Caulis semiuncialis cum foliis vix compressis lineam latus. 



Similar to D. fiaccidum^ but with acute leaves which at the 

 apices of the stems are imbricated in a cuspidate manner. 



Plagiothecium antarcticum, Mitt. 



Monoicum, caespitosum, ramis ascendentibus. Folia compressa sub- 

 falcata nitida, caulina ovata acuminata integerrima enervia, ramea 

 ovato-lanceolata tenuiter acuminata subenervia, omnia basi subcordata, 

 cellulis angustis elongatis areolata ; perichsetialia convoluta late ovata 

 breviter acuminata. Theca in pedunculo elongato rubro ovalis inae- 

 qualis suberecta inclinatave operculo breviter conico peristomio in terno 

 ciliis in unum coalitis inter processus carinatos dentium longitudinis iin- 

 positis in membranam usque ad dimidiam dentium longitudinem insi- 



dentibus, 



* 



Habitus adspectusque omnino P. pulchelli, foliis autem basi ad inser- 

 tionem subcordatim dilatatis. 



Stereodon cupressiformis, Linn.
