spikes, usually terminal, of a brown colour, the leaves 
minute, tumid at the base and closely imbricated. 
The Plagiochila biserialis of Lind. et Lehm., approaches 
nearest to our plant in habit, but is far more slender, has the 
leaves smaller, and their teeth larger.

Tufts wide, loosely entangled, dark olive-green, the upper 
branches numerous, erecto-patent, fastigiate, the lower patent. 
Stems three inches long. Leaves from a narrow base ob- 
ovate, the anterior margin gibbous, the posterior straight, 
recurved, denticulation large towards the top of the leaf. 
Calyx but very little longer than the erect oval pericheetial 
leaves, campanulate, compressed before the egress of the : 
capsule, strongly dentato-ciliate. Perigonia short brownish 
spikes, usually terminal. Capsule oblong, short; pedicel 
scarcely longer than the calyx. : 
This species differs from the European Jung. spinulost, 
Dicks. by the lesser size, more fastigiate habit, rounder 
leaves, by the calyx less exserted out of the perichaetium, 
more campanulate and its mouth more strongly ciliate. "
