There is no specimen in Schimper’s Herbarium at Kew bear- 
ng this name, so no comparison was possible. These specimens 
of Dr. Rusby’s have the leaves strongly costate to the apex, the 
costa is papillose on the back, the margins are entire below, 
serrate and recurved above, papillose and undulate, the upper cells 
are small and round, but not opaque, the basal cells longer and 
brown. 
Hotomirrium Bourvianum C. Miiller, n. sp. Near Yungas, 4000 
ft. (3190). : 
Plants in light yellowish tangled mats, mixed with hepatics ; 
stems 3-4 cm. long, flexuous and matted, with light-colored 
tomentum; leaves 3-5 mm. long, linear lanceolate, twisted and 
curled when dry, costate to apex, serrate and papillose above as 
well as undulate, entire with revolute margins below; cells round 
and small, lower ones hyaline. Plants sterile. 
This species was compared with 7. flexuosum Mitt. at Kew, 
but it differs from No. 21 Spruce from Andes Quitenses in the 
leaves, nor does it agree with any other species from this region 
at Kew. It should be compared with 7. longifohum Hpe.
