Abruzzi Hepaticae 
BY ALEXANDER W. EVANS 
_ Although many parts of Italy have been carefully explored for 
 Hepaticae the mountains of the Abruzzi seem to have been largely 
neglected. According to Barsalis « Bibliografia epaticologica. ita- 
liana », published in Pisa in 1902, Cesati reported Radula cumpla- 
nata fromthe region in 1873, and Archangeli added Plagiochila 
asplenioides, Pellia Fabroniana and Metzsgeria furcata in 1887. These, 
however, are the only definite records which he quotes, and 
_ 8pparently no others have since been published. 
Early in July, 1914, the write spent a few days at Scanno inthe 
reart of the Abruzzi, and devoted considerable attention to the 
_ Hepaticae of the vicinity. Although the high mountains surroun- 
afforded favorable localities and fourteen species were collected. 
These include. no rarities, and yet it seems justifiable to record 
them for the sake of their phytogeographical interest. It will be 
regions. The altitude of Scanno is about 3400 feet, and most of thés :: 
Specimens wére found between 3000 and 4000 feet. e
