BRAZILIAN MOSSES. 165 
which is in some cases contracted below the mouth. Our 
moss lso differs from a specimen, named by Hornschuch H. 
auronitens, from the Amazon river (which we suppose to be 
H. Auberti of Fl. Bras.) in the shape of the leaves, and in 
the presence of the nerve. It is closely allied to H. Tavoy- 
ense, Hook. Ic. Plant. t. 24, f. 1; but has the leaves more 
truly ovate and appressed, with smaller reticulations, and a 
more elongated capsule. 
124. H. Megapolitanum ? Weber and Mohr. Organ Mountains. 
A smaller moss than H. Sellowii, Flora, Bras. with narrower 
distant leaves, which when dry are more contracted, but not 
differing in any tangible characters.

125. Pilotrichum remotifolium ? Fl. Brazil. Organ Moun- 
tains.—A barren specimen, found intermixed with another 
moss, Perhaps a distinct species, with cordate acute 
leaves, not recurved, but suberect. It is also allied to 
Pilotrichum recurvifolium, Fl. Bras. (which appears to be 
identical with Hypnum patens, Hook. Musc. Exot. t. 56) 
but ours has the sides of the leaves reflexed when dry.

Frond not pinnatifid, but very much crisped in the mar- 
gin, so that the folds overlay each other. The spherical 
bodies attached to the midrib (fig. 2), contain the anthers, 
and are ultimately torn open at the apex.
