Syrrhopodon. | 4. SYRRHOPODONTES. 117 
8. S. iNFLEXUS (Mitt.). Czespitosus; caulis fastigiatim ramosus. 
Folia dense inserta, inferne erecto-patentia, apicibus erectis siccitate in- 
flexis hamato-curvatisque, dimidio inferiore erectiore e cellulis quadratis 
hyalinis areolata, inde subcomplicata, marginibus undulatis, limbo angus- 
tissimo hyalino basi usque ad medium vix producto, inde ad apicem im- 
marginata, nervo percurrente concolori apice scabro, cellulis superioribus 
minutis fere opacis ad margines prominulis, ceteris fere laevibus. Theca 
in pedunculo rubro, elliptica, rubra, peristomii dentibus brevibus. 
Hab. Andes Bogotenses, inter Octoblepharum albidum, Weir. 
Habitu staturaque S. Gaudichaudi simillimus, folis autem obtusis, 
siccis minus crispatis, limbo supra medium marginis evanescente differt. 
9. S. rTENUIFOLIUS (Sull. in Proceed. Amer. Acad. 1861, Calymperes). 
Caulis brevis. Folia patentia, setiformia, rigida, inferne parum latiora, 
cellulis hyalinis areolata, apice denticulata, nervo concolori crasso rigido 
levi percursa, cellulis superioribus parvis rotundis obscuris papillosis, 
marginibus limbo hyalino rigido cireumductis ; folia superiora fere duplo 
longiora (perich:etialia ?) ezeterum conformia. 
Hab. Cuba, ad lignum putridum, Wright, n. 45. 
Caulis 1-2-linearis. Folia inferiora 4-linearia, superiora uncialia, sordide 
viridia, sicca immutata. 
Calymperidii Mülleri, Dozy et Molk. Bryol. Javan., similis sed folia basi 
angustiora et quoad foliorum longitudine C. macrophylle, speciei foliis 2- 
uneialibus a beato Motley in Borneo lectze, propinquior. 
The hyaline margin of the leaf corresponds with that usually 
so conspicuous among the species of Syrrhopodon, but which is 
absent in Calymperes. 
10. S. rx1DANs (Mitt.). Caulis elongatus, ramosus. Folia a basi 
erecta albida, cellulis nitidis iridicoloribus, patentia, sicca incurva, mar- 
ginibus cartilagineis apicem versus spinuloso-denticulatis, nervo concolori 
apice dorso denticulato, cellulis superioribus minutis rotundatis, hyalinis 
totam basin occupantibus. 
Hab. Ecuador, Seemann, in Herb. Hooker. 
„Caulis 2-uncialis. Folia angusta, 2-linearia. 
One of the most robust of the species belonging to this group, 
and conspicuous for its thick white stem, produced by the imbri- 
cation of the pellucid sheathing bases of its leaves, in which the 
cells are iridescent. 
11. S. PROLIFER (Schwegr. t. 180). Cwspitosus ; caulis humilis. 
Folia a basi cauli laxe appressa, patentia, planiuscula, nervo pallido per- 
currente dorso levi, marginibus limbo pallido apice denticulatis, cellulis 
hyalinis totam partem erectiorem oceupantibus, superioribus minutis ob- 
securis fere lavibus; perichzetialia longiora, nervo apice dorso spinuloso,
