Allied to 2. guadrata, Gott., and 2. Xalapensis, Mont. ; but the 
lower lobe of the leaf is smaller and much less undulate or not at 
allso. Very near &. afinis, Gort. ; but the perianth is broader and 
shorter from a longer obconic base, and not subcontracted below 
the more entire apex ; cells of the leaves not unequal, &c. About 
the size of the usual forms of 2. complanata, Dum., and in general 
apearance resembles it very much, but is of a fine yellow color, 
perianth more obconic at the base, inflorescence different, &c.; cells 
of the leaves and gemmz on their margin much the same. In 
some of its forms it is difficult to distinguish from R. australis. 
Aust., which grows throughout Northern Florida, but was not 
found in the Caloosa Country. But this species is usually of an olive 
green color verging on to yellow or fuscous ; the male spike is longer 
and more compact ; the perianth is longer and narrower ; both lobes 
of the leaf are a little smaller, the lower one is less adnate to the 
stem, and never undulate, the cells are somewhat smaller, not con- 
vex above, usually with a minute pellucid point in the centre, and 
the interstices are broader and less hyaline.

this on rotten wood on Vancouvers Island, in 1875. His speci-

Cephalozia nematodes, Gort.—in Hepat. Cuben. Wright., 
under /Jungermania. ‘This species is not uncommon on the banks 
of ditches, margins of swamps, etc., in Florida and Southern 
Georgia. It has much the appearance of Blepharostoma trichophyl- 
lum (L.) Dum ; but the texture of the whole plant is much more 
lax, the leaves are longer and more distant, the amphygastria are 
smaller and biparted (2-3 parted ?) with their apices incurved, and 
the fruit is situated ona short ventral branch,—C, confervifolia 
Gort. l. c., has a more solid stem, smaller biparted confervoid 
leaves and no amphigastria ; besides it grows on rotten wood, and 
has not yet turned up in our country.—[ Zoopsis argentea, H., & T.=
