eurvis, nervo ultra medium evanido, cellulis basi ad angulos paucis majori- 
bus, reliquis angustis elongatis; perichzetialia e basi oblonga nervata longe

60. M. consIMILE (Hampe in Ann. Sc. Nat. ser. 5. iv. 360, Neckera). 
M. remotifolio consimile, sed gracilius et colore pallidius. Folia fere sur-

cellulis alaribus paucis laxioribus hyalinis, ceteris linearibus, tota pallide 
flavescentia; perichetialia accumbentia, angustiora. Theca urceolata, 
operculo umbonato-acuminato brevirostro.— Hampe, l. c.

A M. remotifolio differt gracilitate et colore pallidiore, foliis tenuioribus 
minus squarrosis et theca breviore suburceolata quoque operculo breviore.—

ramosi. Folia remota, patentia, nervo ultra medium evanido, marginibus 
subintegerrimis basi subrecurvis, cellulis angustis; ramulina lanceolata, 
acuminata, serrulata; perichetialia e basi latiore subulata, longe attenuata, 
subserrulata. Theca ovalis, æqualis, operculo breviter oblique rostrato, 
peristomii dentibus luteis, interni processibus zequilongis carinatis pertusis, 
in membrana ad quartam dentium longitudinem exserta ; calyptra paululum
