Although it is very astonishing to find in the Azores a species hitherto 
known only from Madagascar, it seems impossible not to refer the 
moss from Flores to P. obtusata C. Mill.; it differs only in the green 
glaucous tint, not dirty reddish, and the less distant leaves; but as to 
the shape and areolation of the leaves, it agrees exactly with the moss 
from Madagascar.
