40 REVUE: BRYOLOGIQUE 
F. serrulatus Brid. On banks of streamlets in woods, Bussaco; 
cfr. ; 
Oclodiceras Julianum Brid: Fonte da Sabuca, Cintra; st... 
Plychomitrium nigricans (Kunze) B. et S. Boulders, Caldas, in 
one or two stations; cfr. This still remains the only European 
locality for the species. 
* PL polyphyllum Fürnr. Summit of Foya. Caldas. 
Grimmia trichophylla var. lusilanica Schp. In numerous loca- 
lities about Caldas and Monchique, often very robust and fre- 
quently in good fruit. Solms-Laubach referred the Algarvian 
moss to G. ancistrodes Mont., which is Schimper’s G. trichophylla 
var. meridionalis, but Schimper considered it different and gave, 
it the name lusilanica. The distinctive characters did not seem 
to us very. obvious; still the size of the spores, which, if not 
quite double those of G. trichophylla as Schimper describes them, 
we found to be considerably larger (up to 18 x) than in the type 
form, indicate something in the nature of a structural variation. 
G. decipiens Lindb. Summit of Picota, in good fruit. Solms- 
Laubach’s statement that G. decipiens Lindb. is not found in 
the Algarvian mountains, while he records G. funalis, seems 
. remarkable, but is probably accounted for by a confusion explai- 
. ned by a note of Schimper’s (Synops., Ed. IT, p. 252) statinig that 
the G. funalis of the Bry. Europæa is not Schwaegrichen’s G. 
funalis (1. e. G. spiralis Hook.et Tayl.), but is G. Schultzii (Brid.) 
(i.e. G.decipiens Lindb.), which species is erroneously there refer- 
red to G. trichophylla. SUII, Lindberg had already put the matter 
right, and as Solms-Laubach knew of this (since he cites Lindberg’s 
name), it seems strange that he did not recognize the very dis- 
tinct Picota moss to be this. Possibly it was not in fruit at that, 
time. Mitten however in his catalogue of Welwitsch’s plants 
records G. Schulizii from the Serra de Foya. 
* G. commulala Hübn. Summit of Foya; o&. A stunted plant 
with very rough hair-points and short basal cells (n°95 22, 23); 
a quite aberrant form, as one would perhaps expect from this 
species in such a locality. 
* G. subsquarrosa Wils. Rocks near stream, Caldas; st. Agrees 
very well with our British plant. 
Grimmia sp. À very dense plant, with short leaves somewhat 
spirally twisted when dry, from summit of Picota (n° 10), may 
belong to G. nr die but is perhaps not sufficient for identi- 
fication. 
* Rhacomilrium débat Brid. Summit of Picota; cfr. 
* Rh. lanuginosum Brid. Summit of Picota; st.
