Symblepharis.] l. DICRANE X. 49 
S. Girstediane C. Müll. toto habitu similis, differt sexu monoico, foliis 
subintegerrimis nec valde serrulatis, etiam peristomii dentibus brevio- 
ribus nec bifidis.—Hampe, l. c. 
If the inflorescence of A GZrstediana were really, as described, 
dioicous, then S. Lindigit would contrast with it in that character ; 
but as all the known South-American species are monoicous, there 
remains in the descriptions scarcely any distinction from the 
original species, S. helicophylla. 
3. S. Curismari (C. Müll. Syn. ii. 614). Symblephari helicophylle 
simillima, sed folia angustiora, breviora, e cellulis mollibus chlorophyllosis 
nunquam incrassatis areolata. Thecz angustissime cylindriez, elongate, 
erectz, valde faleato-arcuate, longe subulate suberecte operculatze, solitarize 
vel rarius aggregate, terminales vel innovando laterales, longiuscule 
peduneulatz, basi subinzquales vix strumose ; peristomii dentes angus- 
tissimi, cruribus vix coherentibus. 
Hab. Mexico, prov. Mechoacan, Cerro San Andres in ligno putrido 
formam humilem, prope Jalapam formam elatam robustiorem legit Chrismar. 
Theca illi Mielichhoferie campylothece similis.— C. Müll. l. c. 
4. S. rRAGILIS (Miti.) Cæspitosa subrigida. Folia a basi erecta 
latissime ovali amplexante angusta, integerrima, patentia, ut plurimum 
medio diffracta, statu sicco incurva subtorta, nervo percursa, cellulis in 
parte erecta angustis, inde ad apicem usque parvis rotundatis; peri- 
cheetialia longe vaginantia, interna apicibus fere ad basin thecæ ovalis 
productis. Pedunculus flavus; operculum subulatum.
