NOTES ON THE NORTH AMERICAN SPECIES OF 
WEISSIA (ULOTA). 
WEISSIA CURVIFOLIA (Wahl.) Lindb. 
Orthotrichum curvifolium Wahl. Fl. Lapp. 365 (1812). 
Ulota curvifolia Brid. Bryol. Univ. 1: 302 (1826). 
Ulota Americana Mitt. Journ. Linn. Soc. 8: 26 (1865). 
Ulota Americana, Mitt. was described from specimens collected 
by Drummond and distributed as No. 153, labeled Orthotrichum 
crispum, Hedw. The habitat is given as “On trees in Upper 
Canada; and upon rocks called Hell’s Gates, below Norway 
House.” As the label indicates, the specimens are mixed; and 
Mitten states that in his set U. Bruchii, not VU. crispa, was distributed. 
In our set there are two distinct patches, the one on the right evi- 
dently grew on trees, for it contains U. crispa and Orthotrichum 
speciosum. The other piece grew on rocks. At first sight, from 
its darker color, and less curly leaves, it would seem to be U. 
Hutchinsie, and it is with this species that Venturi compared it in 
the Revue Bryologique (1892), as it was part of this specimen 
tat I sent: to thins at that wack ite says that “the character 
which distinguishes it from U. Hutchinsi@ is in leaves which are 
not si appressed, but distinctly curved as in the leaves of U. 
“rUyolia.” Now it is with the latter species that the comparison 
should have been made, and I think that Dr. Venturi would have ae 
ais to the same conclusion that I have, that they are the same
