98 2. GRIMMIER. [ Grimmia. 
Caulis uncialis. Folia lineam longa, superiora fulva, inferiora nigro- 
fusca. 
E structura a G. apocarpa certe diversa species. 
6. G. srREPTOPHYLLA (Sulliv. Amer. Expl. Exped. 1859, 8. t. 6). Mo- 
noica, parvula, laxe pulvinata. Folia dense imbricantia, spiraliter tri- 
sticha; perichztialia multo majora, elongato-oblonga, plicata, omnia obtu- 
sissima, subcontinuo-costata. Capsula urniformis, ovalis, 16-dentata, ex- 
annulata, operculo convexo umbonato ; calyptra minima conica. 
Hab. Andes Peruviz, prope Banos. 
* Eight to ten lines high, in loose blackish-brown cushions; 
leaves densely imbricate in three spiral rows.” 
7. G. ScHIEDEANA (C. Müll. in Bot. Zeit. 1855, 765). Cæspites 
densi, pulvinati, sordide virides; caulis erectus, innovando-ramosus, sub- 
humilis. Folia caulina laxe conferta, inferiora concava obtusa depilia, 
cymbiformi-concava, superiora majora et in pilum longum albidum stric- 
tum denticulatum producta, omnia integerrima, margine erecta, recurvula, 
nervo valido sordide flavido excurrente percursa; cellule ad marginem 
basis laxiuscule parenchymatiez, ad nervum flaviores densiores, api- 
cem versus sensim minute quadrate opacæ parum incrassatz ; prichze- 
tialia exserta, majora, longiora, basi angustata, margine tenuiter et laxe 
reticulata, sursum dilatata semiconvoluta, multo laxius areolata, longis- 
sime flexuose pilosa. Theca in pedunculo. perbrevi fructum superante, 
emersa, aperta, urniformi-ovalis, macrostoma, parvula; calyptra glabra. 
G. leucophza, Hornsch. in Muse. Mexic. a Deppe et Schiede lectis. 
Hab. Mexico, Deppe et Schiede, in locis haud designatis. 
E notis illustratis facile cognoscenda. A G. fuliginosa theca emersa 
foliisque inferioribus depilibus jam recedit. 
8. G. AMBLYoPHYLLA (C. Müll. Syn. i. 779). Pulvinata. Folia 
erecto-patentia, nervo percurrente superne carinata, marginibus recurvis, 
cellulis basilaribus infimis paucissimis oblongis lzvibus, exinde elongatis 
sensim superne brevioribus parietibus crenulatis, apicem versus obscuris ; 
perichetialia majora, subspathulato-elliptica, obtusa, excavata, nervo 
percursa, cellularum basilarium parietibus lzevibus, superiorum crenulatis. 
Theca urniformis, peristomii dentibus rubris parum pertusis. 
G. apocarpa, var., Hook. f. et Wils. 
Hab. Magellan, Hermite Island, J. D. Hooker. 
Caulis 3-uncialis. Folia caulina į lineam longa, fusco-viridia, peri- 
chzetialia lineam longitudine parum excedentia. "Theca ore amplo. 
Ob folia perichetialia obtusa depilia et caulinarum structuram satis 
distincta. 
9. G. APocARPA (Linn. Sp. Pl. 1579, Bryum).  Pulvinata. Folia 
patentia, in pilum hyalinum brevem acutum denticulatum producta, nervo 
pereurrente superne carinata, marginibus recurvis uno latere reflexis,
