1902] Evans, — Notes on New England Hepaticae 209 



ustulata was long ago reduced by Nees von Esenbeck to a synonym 

 of Sarcoscyphus Ehrharti (= Marsupella emarginata), 1 and until it 

 was revived by Pearson had practically disappeared from hepati- 

 cological literature. 



4. Nardia haematosticta (Nees) Lindb.' 2 This species was dis- 

 covered by the writer close to the Crawford Bridle Path in the sum- 

 mer of 1902. Only two other North American localities, Greenland 

 and Alaska, have been recorded. 



5. Nardia hyalina (Lyell) Carringt. No New England stations 

 for this species are given in the Manual, but apparently it is not 

 uncommon. Specimens from the following localities are in the 

 writer's herbarium : Jerusalem, Maine (/. F. Collins) ; Newfane, 

 Vermont (AT. A. Howe) ; Middletown and Hamden, Connecticut 

 (A. IV. E.). Specimens have also been examined from Massachu- 

 setts. 



6. Lophozia kicrEnata (Schmid.) Dumort. Recueil d'Obs. sur les 

 Jung. 17. 1835. Jungertnannia bicrenata Schmid. Ic. Plant. 3: 

 250. pi. 64,/. 2. 1797. By most American authors this species has 

 been referred to /. excisa Dicks., and it is described under this name 

 in the sixth edition of the Manual. It is probable that the true/. 

 excisa was a composite species including among others the /. bicren- 

 ata of Schmidel, but there is so much uncertainty about it that some 

 European writers have given up the name altogether while others 

 reserve it for/, capitata Hook. (= / intermedia Lindenb.), a very 

 different species from Lophozia bicrenata. J. capitata is described in 

 the Manual as/ excisa, var. crispa Hook, and has not yet been def- 

 initely reported from New England. L. bicrenata on the contrary is 

 not uncommon and is usually found growing on the earth in woods 

 or along their borders. It has been collected from near the coast to 

 an altitude of 5000 ft. in the White Mountains and does not vary 

 markedly in different localities. To the description given in the 

 Manual it may be added that the inflorescence is paroicous and that 

 the plants, which are usually more or less tinged with reddish, com- 

 monly give off a peculiar aromatic odor. New England specimens 

 from the following stations are in the writer's herbarium : Crawford 

 Bridle Path and Jackson, New Hampshire (A. W. E.) ; Andover, 



1 Naturgeschichte der europ. Lebermoose, 2 : 417. 1836. 



2 A full description of this species by the writer may be found in Proc. Wash. 

 Acad. 2 : 296. 1900.
