A very small beautiful shining species, closely allied to 
Phyllog. fulgens, Brid., of which we have seen no perfect spe- 
cimens ; hence we are unable to determine whether a cuculli- 
form calyptra be a proper feature of the genus, which as 
constituted by Bridel is untenable, including both acro- 
carpous and pleurocarpous Mosses.
