NEW SPECIES OF MUSCI. 47 



dark-brown above. Teeth of the peristome approached in 

 pairs. The ciliae have escaped observation in the present 

 specimens. This species differs from Z. conoideus, H. et T., 

 by the shorter stems, the wider leaves, the thicker and shorter 

 setae, and remarkably by the short beak to the lid of the 

 capsule ; besides, the upper half of the calyptra is blackish- 

 brown, while in the European plant it is whitish. 



Campylopus, BrideL 



1. C. Icevis; caule caespitoso, stricto, subfasciculatim ramoso, 



ramis erectis ; foliis imbricatis, erectis, lineari-lanceolatis, 



late nervosis, concavis, piliferis ; capsula elongate ovata, 



laevi, ore angustato; seta flexuosa; calyptra basi piloso- 



hirsuta. — n. 329. On Pichincha, near Quito, 9. Oct. 



1827. Prof. William Jameson. (Dr. Greville's Herbarium), 



Stems nearly 1 inch high; the older parts brown, the 



newer pale-green or straw-coloured ; young shoots erect, 



rigid. Capsule unequal, destitute of striee, the mouth narrow, 



the base with a minute blackish apophysis. Teeth of the 



peristome pale, bipartite. Seta short, the lower half covered 



by the adpressed pericheetial leaves. The lidelongato-conical. 



Calyptra split on one side, it is circumscissed, and sends 



down in continuation numerous parallel hairs, as well as 



sends up, lying on the calyptra, a few erect ones. The C. 



pyriformis, Brid. is said to have, as in this species, the 



capsule destitute of furrows, but, its obovate shape, and 



the leaves of that plant being furnished with narrow distinct 



nerves, are decisive differences. 



Trichostomum, Hedw. 



1. T. crispipilum ; caule caespitoso, erecto, fasciculatim ra- 

 moso, ramis brevibus, erectis ; foliis imbricatis erectiuscu- 

 lis, ovato-lanceolatis, margine reflexis, in acumine piliformi 

 crispo productis ; capsula lineari-cylindracea, erecta, sub- 

 aequali; foliis perichsetialibus convolutis, strictis, obtusis, 

 apiculatis. — Summit of the Gtuitinian Andes, Prof. William 

 Jameson, 1845.
