ractas Maypures, Spruce, n. 1014. Brasilia, Sierra dos Orgaos, Gardner, 
n. 102; prope Rio de Janeiro, Milne, in monte Corcovado, Gardner, n. 104 ; 
Brasilia tropica, Burchell, n. 5649. 2. 
Species adspectu valde diversa interdum ramis brevibus in czspitem 
compactum congestis, interdum ramis simplicibus curvatis elongatis cæ- 
spitem laxiorem formantibus. Folia viridia flavescentia vel fuscescentia, 
nitida vel parum obscuriora subnitida. Pedunculus 1-13-uncialis. 
The synonymy of this species as quoted in Müller's ‘Synopsis’ 
has been taken only so far as relates to the two species referred 
to this species by himself; it is certainly not the same as Swartz's 
specimen in Herb. Hooker. 
ll. S. AGNATUM (Hampe). Rami breves, depressi, czspitosi. Folia 
patentia, concava, margine latiuscule implana vel parum recurva, cellulis 
alaribus basilaribus mediisque angustis flavis, superioribus minutis ellipticis; 
perichztialia erecta, oblongo-lanceolata, brevinervata, margine reflexa. 
Theca in pedunculo elongato, oblongo-cylindracea, recta vel curvata, peri- 
stomii dentibus extus scabris intus trabeculatis, interni processibus in mem- 
brana usque ad å dentium longitudinis exserta impositis.

Bogota, Weir, n. 423. 
S. galipensi minus, foliis brevioribus diversum videtur. 
12. S. FLACCIDIFOLIUM (C. Müll. Syn. ii. 333, Hypnum). — Repens, 
laxe ezspitulosum, erectum, ramis simplicibus laxissime foliosis flaccidis 
erectis v. vix curvulis sordide lutescentibus. Folia caulina laxe patula, 
indistincte secunda, implana, margine erecto, nervis et cellulis S. cæ- 
spitosi, perichztialia caulinis longiora et caviora. Theca in pedunculo 
breviusculo purpureo lzvi horizontalis v. nutans, oblonga, ore constricta, 
exannulata ; peristomium S. cespitosi.—C. Müll. l. c. 
Hab. Ins. Trinidad, Crüger. 
Ab S. cespitoso theca horizontali oblonga longiore robustiore, foliis 
planiusculis distinctius secundis laxissime imbricatis, ramis flaccidis, ab 
S. Kegeliano v. tenui simillimo areolatione folii et peristomio differt.—

13. S. sECUNDIFOLIUM (C. Müll. Syn. ii. 343, Hypnum). Folia tereti- 
imhrieata, patentia, marginibus recurvis, breviter nervatis, cellulis angustis, 
alaribus parvis angustis parum conspicuis.

S. galipensi affine. 
14. S. INCoNSPICUUM (Hornsch. in Mart. Fl. Bras. Musc. 86, Hypnum). 
S. lozensi simile, sed folia caulina regularia, haud implanata, margine 
erecto v. parum convexo, haud valde reflexo, cellulis angustioribus et 
longioribus tenerioribus, alaribus superioribus minutis; perichetialia va-
