(8). EccREMiDiuM ExiGUUM (Hook. f. et Wils.) This species 

 has hitherto been placed among the Clcistocarpi, although 

 in reality it is a stegocarpous moss. The mistake has arisen 

 partly from the fact that when originally described only 

 immature specimens were examined, and partly from the 

 fact that, as mentioned below, a truly cleistocarpous moss 

 has been confounded by Miiller with it. 



The present species was described by Hooker and Wilson 

 in Hook. Ic. Pi. tab. 737 B (1845) under the name of 

 Phascimi exiguum, from Swan River, West Australia 

 (James Drummond). In the London Journal of Botany, 

 vol. V (1846^, Wilson remarked (p. 451) " Phascum 

 exiguum (Hook et Wils.) may prove to belong to this genus 

 [Eccrcmidium], when examined in a sufficiently mature 



state " 



Miiller, in 1847, in Bot. Zeit, p. 99, transferred " P. cxi- 

 gmnn " to the cleistocarpous genus Bruchia, calling the 

 species /y. exigua G. Miill. In Syn. I, p. 16 (1849), however, 

 Miiller gave the moss the name of Aslormnn Krauscanmn 

 Hmp. in litt., quoting Phascum exiguum and Bruchia 

 exigua as synonyms, and remarking in connection with tlie 

 former of these names; '' Ex adnotationibus uUerioribus 

 in Lond. Journ. of Bot. 1840, p. 450 cl. auctores putavere, 

 hanc speciem forte ad eorum genus Eccremidu pertincre, 

 quum cujusthecamaturanondum nolasit. E speciminibus, 

 a D'- Behr e Nova Hollandia relatis et ab amicissimo Hampe 

 benevolo mecum communicatis Astomum verum calyplra 

 dimidiata longe apiculata. " Jaeger in 1860 in Muse, cleist. 

 p. 31, and in Adum. I, p. 221 (1873) placed the species m 

 Plcw'idium, in \yhich genus it remains in Paris' Index
