Theca minor, ovato-elliptica, rufescenti-chrysea, vetusta parum obliqua ; 
operculo conico subulato, subula sulcata subrecta; calyptra pallide flava; 
peristomium breve, externi dentibus lanceolatis, integris, flavidis, interni

Hab. Andes Bogotenses, in montibus del Moro et Pacho (2200 metr.), 
quoque San Jil (1300 metr.), Lindig. 
E descriptione ab E. squarroso ob folia acumine piliformi acuminata 
satis diversus videtur, specimina autem in collectione Lindigiana cum 
E. squarroso conveniunt.

7. E. Beyricuit (Schwegr. t. 197, Neckera). Monoicus; rami pro- 
cumbentes, laxe intricati, pinnatim ramosi, ramulis curvatis. Folia com- 
pressa, lateralia patentia, concava, nervis brevibus, marginibus apice serru-
