46 NEW SPECIES OF MUSCI. 



Outer peristome of eight double teeth, reflexed when dry, 

 inner of eight double cilise, a pair opposite to the correspond- 

 ing pair of teeth, sometimes with one or two scariose cells 

 along one side, projecting beyond the lanceolate outline. 

 This greatly resembles O. leiocarpum, Br. et Schimp. but is 

 much larger, has a more hairy calyptra, the setse are longer 

 and the ciliae are not so remarkably fimbriato-erose. 



SCHLOTHEIMIA, SchtVCteff. 



I. S. oblonga ; caule laxe ceespitoso, erectiusculo, elongate, 

 subflexuoso, basi subsimplici, supra ramoso ; foliis imbn- 

 catis, elongatis, recurvatis, lanceolato-subulatis, apice sub- 

 serrulatis, canaliculars, margine recurvis ; capsula oblonga, 

 sulcata, operculo recto, rostrato ; calyptra sulcata, laciniato- 

 fissa, laevi.— n. 322. Andes of Quito, Prof. William Jame- 

 son, 1845. 



Stems sometimes 3 inches long, with a few fastigiate 

 branches above. The younger parts are of a yellowish -green 

 and shining, the older brownish-rust-coloured. Pedicels 

 length lateral, yet over-topping the shoots. The margins nea 

 the tops of the leaves are much crisped, and serrulate; 

 outer peristome very short, almost annular ; inner, a whitish 

 short membrane very irregularly divided. The double peris- 

 tome, longer capsule, and subserrulate leaves, distinguish this 

 from Orth. longifolium, Hooker.

1. Z. Drummondii; caule abbreviate, erecto, caespitoso, sub- 

 simplici ; foliis oblongo-obovatis, acuminulatis, canalicula- 

 rs, nervo ante apicem evanescente; capsula obovata, 

 apophysata, sulcata j operculo conico-rostellato.— On bark, 

 Swan River, Mr. James Drummond.
