NEW SPECIES OF MUSCI. 55 



green. Setae slender, flexuose, about 1 inch long. The 

 young capsule turbinate, inclined to one side. Inner peris- 

 tome much shorter than the outer. In Bart, ithyphylla, Brid., 

 the base of the leaves is more amplexicaul, and the stems 

 shorter. 



2. B. integrifolia ; caule caespitoso, elongato, erecto, vage 

 ramoso, ramis subfasciculatis ; foliis imbricatis, erecto- 

 patentibus, ovato-lanceolatis, longius acuminatis, integerri- 

 mis, margine reflexis ; capsula pyriformi-oblonga, striata, 

 cernua ; operculo umbonato. — On the Quitinian Andes ; 

 Prof. William Jameson, 1845. 



Stems 2-3 inches high, pale yellowish-green. Leaves 

 usually with a single twist at their tips, concave beneath, 

 entire above. Inner peristome of sixteen laciniae, each 

 covered by a tooth of the outer peristome, each, also, 

 is bipartite, containing a shorter double, filiform process 

 between the division. Approaches Bartr. tomentosa, Hook, 

 but the plant is shorter, the leaves are entire, and the capsule 

 oblong, and with a considerable apophysis, which renders the 

 whole pyriform. 



3. B. angulata ; caule caespitoso, erecto, fastigiatim-ramoso, 

 ramis gracillimis, subtetragonis ; foliis imbricatis, erectis, 

 cordato-lanceolatis, acuminatis, denticulatis, margine re- 

 flexis j capsula late ovato-oblonga, decurva, striata; operculo 

 conico ; seta elongata. — Near Quito, Prof. William Jameson, 

 1845. 



Nearly two inches high, pale green ; branches very 

 slender. Leaves in four rows, closely adpressed to the 

 stem. Perigonial leaves larger than the cauline. Seta 1| 

 men long. Inner peristome a short membrane with sixteen 

 laciniae, which are variously truncate and foraminulose. Differs 

 from Bart, uncinata, Schwaeg., by the taller size, more 

 slender habit, the leaves scarcely secund, their bases wider, 

 and by the more oblong capsule which is arched down- 

 wards.
