MOSSES FROM CHINA AND JAPAN. 407 
Sulliv. Ie. Musc. Supp. t. 58. figs. 5, 6); and by this character the 
plant is at once distinguished from Climacium americanum, Brid., 
and also from C. dendroides, Weber & Mohr. In Schimper's 
herbarium at Kew there is an unnamed species of Climacium 
labelled “Java, Junio 1844.” This is C. japonicum, and is 
interesting as extending the geographical range of the species. 
CLIMACIUM DENDROIDES, Weber d Mohr.—Japan (V. Dickins, 
no. 1424). 
PTEROBRYUM ArBUSCULA, Mitf.— Japan: Kobe(C. Ford, Nor. 
1890, no. 287). 
METEORIUM PENSILE, Mitt.— Japan: Arima (J. H. Maiden, 
Oct. 1885, no. 63). 
PAPILLARIA ATRATA (syn. Trachypus atratus, Mitt.).—China : 
Ningpo Mts., Prov. Chekiang (Dr. E. Faber, 1889, no. 22). 
This species has been recorded hitherto only from India and 
Ceylon; the Chinese plant has slightly narrower leaves, 'and 
those of the branches have slightly longer points and are less 
cordate at the base. Mitten (in Journ. Linn. Soc., Bot. iii. (1859) 
Supp. p. 129) describes the species as with smooth cells, but in the 
original specimens from India and Ceylon, as in the Chinese 
examples, the stem- and branch-leaves are papillose with a single 
papilla placed in the centre of the face of each cell. 
Pororricnum Makinor, Broth., forma.—Ape's Hill, side of 
cliff, Formosa (Dr. A. Henry, no. 1841) Determined by 
Dr. Brotherus. 
HoMALIA GLOSSOPHYLLA, Jaeg.—China: Yunnan, Szemao, 
S.E. forests, 4000 ft. on rock (Dr. A. Herry, no. 12812); 
Ape's Hill, summit, on rock in dark places, Formosa (idem. 
nos. 717, 752, 1931, 2023). 
STEREODONTACE X. 
ECTROPOTHECIUM  PERRETICULATUM, Broth. MSS.—China : 
Hongkong (C. Ford, Dec. 1839, no. 218). 
Dr. Brotherus reported: * I have examined this moss and found 
it to be quite identical with E. perreticulatum, Broth., a species 
found in the Liu Kiu Islands, but which I have not yet 
described."
