MB. W. mitten's list OF SAMOAN MOSSES. 189 



parvis anguloso-rotundatis obscuriusculis, papillis inconspicuis parieti- 

 bus pellucidioribus ; perichsctialia erectiora, caulinls simllia; theca in 

 pedunculo brevi, cylindracea. 

 Hab. Tutuila. No. 106. Ovolan, Figi Islands, on stones in the moun- 



tains, Milne, 



fi 



scarcely dilated at the base, and when dry more loosely con- 

 torted and subsecund. 



T, FAscicuLATUM, Hook, ct Grev, (Syrrhopodon), Schw. t. 299. 

 Hab, Tutuila, on cocoanut-trees near the sea-level- No. 112. 



The branches of this fine species are from 1 to 3 inches long; 

 and the plant appears to grow in large tufts. The fruit has 

 only been seen on Dickson's original specimens. The calyptra 

 is long ; and although it may clasp the base or neck of the cap- 

 sule as it does in some species of Si/rrhopodon occasionally, it is 

 very different from the plicate calyptra of Galymperes, 



T. CRASSiNERVE, sp. D. Rami humiles, dense csespitosi ; folia a basi 

 dilatata erecta subrotundata, subito contracta, patentia, oblonga, apice 

 obtusa obtuseve acuta, nervo infra apicem abrupto, dorso lievi, inter- 

 dum valde incrassato, marginibus integerrimis, limbo angusto sub- 

 concolori inconspicuo ultra folii medium producto, cellulis hyalinis 

 partem folii rotundatam erectam totam occupantibus, superioribus 

 rotundatis obscuris minute papillosis ; folia anomala apice longiora 

 acuminata, corpuscula septata in glomerulis satis magnis ferentia. 



Hab. Tutuila, on bark. No. 129. 



Branches 3 or 4 lines high. Leaves short, incurved when dry. 

 In size this species agrees witb T, repens of the East Indies. 



Ch^tomitrium froxdosum, sp. n. Rami elongati, ramulis brevibus 

 irregularibus pinnatim ramosi ; folia compressa, lateralia, pateutia, ob- 

 longa, sicca longitudinallter undulata, breviter acuminata, superne infra 

 apicem excavata, margine apiceque planato flexuoso denticulatis, illo 

 a medio usque ad basin anguste reflexo integerrimo, nervis brevibus, 

 celluhs angustis dorso versus folii apicem finibus aculeiforraibus ex- 

 stantibus; perichsetiaha conformia, plicata, superne denticulis ciliata; 

 pedunculus elongatus, basi nudus, superne setulis divaricatis vestitus; 

 theca oblonga, inclinata, atate pendula, operculo subulate ; calyptra 



setis brevibus obtecta. 

 Hab, Tutuila, on trees by the ascent to Matafao (1500-2000 ft.). 



No. 68. 



Pale, shining, straw-coloured, growing in loose tufts, the branches 

 about 2 inches long. This fine species differs from G. speciosum, 

 Sull. Amer. Expl. Exped. p. 23, t. 23, in its elongate pinnate 

 branches and setose fruit-stalk.
