2. Goniomitrium acuminatum (Hook, et Wils.) ; caule brevi 

 subsimplici, foliis ovato-lanceolatis longe acuminatis ner- 

 vosis, capsula longius pedicellata subexserta globosajcalyp- 

 tra membranacea. Tab. III. B. 



Hab. Swan River, James Drummond, n. 6 (b); on a blackish 



soil. 

 Caules praecedente duplo longiores, speciosiores. Folia lon- 

 giora, rigidula, laxius imbricata, erecta, minus concava, 

 apice magis attenuata; siccitate contracta, subflexuosa 

 viridia, nervo vix sub apicera evanido, areolis rhomboideis, 

 laxis. Vaginula brevior, oblongo-ovata, seta longior, cap- 

 sulae longitudinem adsequans. Capsula, operculum et sporae 

 praecedentis. Calyptra grandior, magis albescens, costis 

 vix prominulis. Florescentia monoica, ut in prsecedente. 

 Essentially different from G. enerve, in the nerved leaves, 

 ana readily distinguishable by its pedicellate capsule, as also 

 by the totally different aspect of the foliage, especially when 

 dry. The calyptra is more membranous and glossy.

3. Anictangium repens, (Hooker) . Calyptra conica, minima, 

 valde inconspicua, operculi rostellum vix amplectens. Cap- 

 sula in vaginulam brevissimam sessilis, ore dilatata. Sporae 

 praegrandes, ferrugineee. Florescentia monoica : flos mas- 

 culus nunc gemmiformis, nunc in ramo terminalis, anthe- 

 ndia ovali-oblonga, paraphysibus longioribus immixtis.
