À very distinet species, differing from most of the allied species 
of Brachymenium in the turgid, sub-pendulous capsule. From 
B, nepalense, Hook. it differs also in the leaves very narrowly 
limbate and subentire, not at all spirally contorted when dry ; and 
the peristome also presents not unimportant differences. From 
. most of the allied antoicous species of Brachymeniumitis at once 
distinguishable either by the turgid sub-pendulous capsule, not 
narrow and suberect, or by the leaves not being twisted when dry, 
or by the extremely narrow entire border. Z. lanceolatum Hook. 
fil. and Wils. from Tasmania resembles it very closely in leaf 
characters, but the capsule is quite distinct, On the other hand 
B. glaucum (CG. M.) from Ceylon, to which it is probably most 
nearly related, has a turgid capsule, but according to the descrip- 
tion {I have not been able Lo see a specimen) differs at once in 
having the leaves gathered into gemmiform rosulate tufts, very 
bright and shining, the perichætial leaves differing little from the
