 loriforinia, indurata, Umbata, minutissirne areolata, 



C. (H.) LORiFOLiUM, sp, n. Dioicuin(?); caulis humilis; folia a basi 

 oblonga, latiora, cellulis hyalinis quadratis distinctis fere ad apiccm 

 usque areolata, ad latera fascia latiuscula e cellulis parvis angustis 

 eloiigatis firmis, et limbo tenerrimo e cellulis apicibus exstantibus cre- 

 nulato marginata, subito contracta, longe loriformia, erecto-patentia, 

 sicca laxe curvata subcrispata, apice acuminata, nervo percurrente, 

 limbo obscuro parum incrassato remote serrulato apice paucidenti- 

 culato circumducta, cellulis incrassatis pellucidis rotundatis oblatisque; 

 pericbaitialia conformia, apicibus ad orificium thecai cylindracea; attin- 

 gentibus; peduuculus ruber; operculum conico-subulatum ; calyptra 

 plicata, apice acuminata, scabra, basi infra thecam descendeus, torta. 



Hab. Manua^ on Alsophila lunulata, on the ascent of the mountain 

 Olotane (1400 ft.). No. 47, Figi Islands, Milne; also in Borneo, 

 jMoiley, 



Stems half an inch high. Leaves half an inch and more long,

This differs from C. serratum in its narrower stiffer leaves, 

 with the hyaline cells well defined and extending to near the top 

 of the oblong base. 



In the Bryol. Javanica, t. 40, there are figured (iN"o. 5 and 

 No. 6) two stems w^hich probably belong to C. lorifolium.
