MOSSES FROM CHINA AND JAPAN, 453 
(Dr. A. Henry, July 1888, no. 6165). The larger, more erect, 
only slightly curved capsule, and the leaves slightly wider 
towards the base, with the cella throughout wider, seem sufficient 
to mark off the present plant as a variety of D. japonicum. In 
Schimper’s Herbarium there are two specimens (both barren) of 
a moss from Japan (Savatier) named in Schimper’s handwriting 
* Dicranum subscoparium” ; one of these belongs to the present 
variety of D. japonicum, and the other appears to be a narrow- 
leaved form of the same species. Paris (Index Bryolog.) refers 
* Dicranum subscoparium, W. P. ch., in Savatier M. Jap. 
no. 91," to D. cesium, Mitt., a species quite distinet from 
JD. japonicum in the small non-porous upper cells, quadrate- 
elliptie or shortly reetangular in shape, and asperous at the back, 
and in the peculiar irregularly thickened (bistratose) margin, 
with frequently a double row of serratures, of the upper part of 
the leaf. 
In the Kew Herbarium there is a moss named “ Dieranum 
japonicum, Geheeb, sp. nova! (Folia perichextialia arcte longe 
convoluta longe loriforme acuminata serrulata)," from Japan 
(Dickins, no. 1429). This is identical with D. japonicum, Mitt. 
CAMPILOPUS Dozranus, Jaeg.—China: Hongkong (barren 
and 9) (C. Ford, Oct. 1889, no. 216). This species has not 
apparently been hitherto recorded from China. The Hong- 
kong plant agrees better, in possessing rather long hyaline leaf- 
points and in the nerve being lamelligerous at the back (often 
quite similar in this respect to C. polytrichoides, De Not.), with 
C. Dozyanus than with the closely allied C. nigrescens, Jaeg. 
Sande Laeoste (6) has recordei the present species from Japan, 
and specimens in the Kew Herbarium labelled “ Japonia (leg. 
Textor) ” agree exactly with the Hongkong ones. 
LEUCOBRYACEE. 
I am indebted to Dr. J. Cardot for the following determi- 
nations :— 
LEUCOBRYUM LUTSCHIANUM, C. Müll. MSS.—China: Hong- 
kong (C. Ford, June 1888, no. 17). 
L. Wrcnuvnz, Broth—On Pinus sylvestris ?, Simodo, Japan 
(Oldham, Sept. 1861, no. 281). This is probably the mo:s 
recorded by Mitten (7) under the name of “ Schistomitrium 
Gardnerianum, Mitt. On pine-trees, Nagasaki, Japan (Oldham)."
