dijudicabit, folia vix recedunt nisi acumine longiori acutato. Specimina 

 speciei ulterioris in Venezuela collecta folia rubrinervia ostendunt. 

 An species propria? Genus ipsum, ut editum est, peristomio simplici 

 incompletum a CI. Mitten forsan observatum est. Ego quidem 

 Adelothecii species pro Distichophyllis exlimbatis densirctibus 

 puto; pro Muscis, qui fructum rarissime procreant. 



86. Lepidopilum nanothecium n. sp.; monoicum ; caulis 

 adrepens, ramis vix uncialibus vel brevioribus teneris curvatis sim- 

 plicibus laxifoliis divisus; folia caulina tenera angusta minuta recur- 

 vato-patula horrida, madore laxius disposita, sunimitate rami pauca 

 valde recurva, e basi angusta in laminam angustann valde asymme- 

 tricam longiuscule oblongatam denique longiuscule semitorto-acumi- 

 natam acutam plus minusve complicatam producta, apice remote 

 denticulata, nervis binis obsoletis brevibus pallidis lenitcr exarata, 

 e cellulis longis angustiusculis pellucidis reticulata caviuscula; peri- 

 chaetialia multo minora appressa, e basi vaginata breviter acuminata 

 enervia integerrima; theca in pedicello perbrevi pertenui rubro 

 asperulo erecta minuta angustissime cylindrico-obovata siccitate valde 

 coarctata , operculo minuto conico acuto ; calyptra operculum vix 

 superans minuta membranacea glabra; peristomium pro capsula Ion- 

 gum strictissimum angustissimum: dentes externi anguste lanceolato- 

 subulati rubri anguste marginati, interni subuUformes ferruginei vix 

 carinati nee fissiles. 



Habitatio. Brasilia, Sa. Catharina, colonia Blumenau, in cau- 

 libus fruticum Scrophularineae, Solanaceae et Piperaceae, ad rivulum 

 Bugerbach, Aug, 1888: E. Ule, Coll. No. 306; ibidem, ad rivulum 

 Riberao fresco in ramis fruticum sylvae, Junio 1888: idem, Coll. 

 No. 305. 



Minutie fructificationis et seta asperula species facile cognoscenda. 



87. Lepidopilum fruticolum n. sp.; monoicum; caulis ad- 

 repens, ramis aggregatis uncialibus vel brevioribus subsimplicibus api- 

 cem versus breviter cuspidato-decrescentibus lutescentibus firmiusculis; 

 folia caulina laxe imbricata horride recurvatula, madore surculum 

 complanatum distichaceum sistentia laxe patentia, e basi angustiore 

 in laminam valde asymmetricam latiuscule ovatam vel oblongam 

 breviter acuminatam acutam superne denticulatam producta, planius- 

 culo-concava margine erecta, nervis binis brevibus angustissimis pallidis 

 obsoletis leviter exarata, e cellulis longis angustiusculis pellucidis basi 

 laxioribus reticulata; perichaetialia multo minora pauca appressa, e 

 basi vaginata enervi breviter stricte subulata integerrima; theca in 

 pedicello perbrevi flexuoso tenui rubro glabro erecta breviter oblonga 

 siccitate et madore aequalis nee constricta, operculo conico acuto 

 recto, calyptra membranacea glabra obtecto; peristomium longum 

 strictum; dentes externi angusti rubri densiuscule articulati lamina
