MOSSES FROM CHINA AND JAPAN. 457 
ORTHOTRICHACEF. 
ORTHOTRICAUM HOOKERI, Mitt. — China: Tongolo, Prov. 
Szcchuen, on bamboo, c. fr. (J. A. Soulié, 1893). 
A small form, with shorter setz than usual, but quite agreeing 
in all other characters. The stomata of the capsule are super- 
ficial in this species. 
MACROMITRIUM JAPONICUM, Dozy d Molkenb.—China: on 
rocks, large stones, and on the trunks of trees, Chusan, c. fr. 
(Dr. W. T. Alexander, Jan. 181€, no. 19): Tsus Sima, c. fr. 
(Wilferd, no. 887). Formosa, c. fr. (Oldham). 
FUNARTACEE. 
FUNARIA HYGROMETRICA, Hedw.—China: Omei, c. fr. (Dr. 
E. Faber, Dec. 1887); Hongkong, e fr. (C. Ford, Dec. 188% 
nos. 149, 210). 
PHYscoMITRIUM  JAPONICUM, JMift.— China: moist shady 
bank opposite Hongkong, Chusan, c. fr. (Dr. W. T. Alexander, 
1846, no. 2); Hongkong, c. fr. (C. Ford, no. 150). 
Dr. Alexander's specimens were referred to P. acuminatum, 
Bruch & Schimp., by Wilson (3), but that species differs in the 
shorter, broader leaves, with a much less defined border, and 
usually less percurrent nerve. 
BrYacEz. 
WEBERA SCABRIDENS, Jaeg.—China: Tientai Mt., 2000 ft., 
Prov. Chekiang (Dr. E. Faber, 1889, no. 8). Known hitherto 
only from Japan. 
Bryum ($ RHODOBRYUM) GIGANTEUM, Hook.—China: Tientai 
Mt., 3000 ft., Prov. Chekiang (Dr. E. Faber, 1889, no. 5 bis); 
Hupeh, Fang, mountain, 7000-9500 ft. (Dr. A. Henry, Aug. 
1888, no. 6796); West Szechuen and Tibetan Frontier, chiefly 
near Tachienlu, at 9000-13,500 ft. (A. E. Pratt, no. 801). Japan: 
Miyanoshita (C. Ford, Oct. 1890, no. 292). 
Very fine examples of the species, although all barren. 
Some of the specimens (e.g. nos. 5 bis, 292, 801) are of a far 
larger size than that ever attained by B. roseum, Schreb., 
the leaves often measuring over 2 centimetres long. The 
species seems to have been much confused with B. roseum: 
in the Kew Herbarium there are two specimens from Japan
