It seems just possible that Zygodon Schmidii G. M. 

 (in Bot. Zeit., 1853, p. 60) may be identical with the 

 present species. In Harape's herbarium at the British 

 Museum (Natural History) there is a specimen labelled 



Weisia. 7A/godon Schmidtii, Ost Ind. Neelghier. leg. 

 Schmidt. " This specimen is cevidAnX"^ Oreoiveisia laxifolia. 

 There is, however, another label appended, viz. " Sikkim, 

 Sinchul (S. Kurz) ", so that it is very probable that the 

 Oreoiveisia belongs to this latter label. On the other hand, 

 Muller's description of his plant (if we except the '' dioicous 

 inflorescence", and *' erecto-patent leaves") suggests in 

 many points 0. laxifolia, and it would be well if some 

 bryologist possessing an authentic specimen of Zygodon 

 Schmidii would ascertain this point. D'" P. Hennings, of 

 Berlin, at my request, kindly looked for the original 

 specimen of Z. Sch/mdii in Mtiller's herbarium, but 

 unfortunately was unable to find it.
