ON THE NEW SPECIES OP MUSCI. 451 



racterized by the short, thick, arcuate seta, and pendulous 

 capsule. Phascum exiguwn (Hook, et Wils.). may prove to 

 belong to this genus, when examined in a sufficiently mature 

 state. 



Bryum campy lot hecium, differs from B. Billardieri, 

 (Schwaegr.), in the more concave leaves with longer points 

 and larger areolae ; but after comparing it with B. Billardieri 

 of Bruch and Schimper (which appears to be B. Canariense, 

 Schwaegr.), from Sardinia and Istria, and with B. Canariense, 

 (Schwaegr.), from the Canaries, it seems expedient to consider 

 all these as varieties of one species. 



Bryum creberrimum, appears to be only a variety of B. ob- 

 conicum (Hornsch.), with longer setee and smaller capsules 

 than usual. The elongated surculi furnish no character, and 

 are not found in all the specimens sent by Mr. Drummond 

 from the Swan River. 



Bartramia strictifolia, is B. stricta (Bridel) . 



Bartramia integrifolia, scarcely differs from B. pendula 

 (Hook.), except in the absence of serratures on the leaf, and 

 may be only a variety ; the inflorescence is dioicous, the peri- 

 gonial leaves are ovate, spreading. 



Bartramia angulata, is believed to be B. mfiflora (Hornsch. 

 Fl. Bras.) The leaves are quinquefarious. 



Brachymenium subrotundum, (Tab. XVI. H.), has the pe- 

 ristome of Acidodontium, of which another new species has 

 been gathered by Professor Jameson.* 



Funaria subnuda, is F. physcomitrioides (Montagne, Crypt. 

 ^•gh-)* var. foliis minus acuminatis. 



* Acidodontium seminerve (Hook, et Wils.), foliis erectis ovato-lanceo- 

 latis acuminatis subintegris seminerviis, seta elongata, capsula pyriformi- 

 clavata horizontali, operculo hemisphaerico, peristomio albido. — (Tab. 

 XVI. I.) 



Forests of the Andes, Professor Jameson, n. 328, and Pichincha, 327 ? 

 (fruit immature).— -This has the habit of Brachymenium. Seta 2 inches 

 lon g. Leaves shining green, almost piliferous, not shrinking when dry. 

 hiflorescence dioicous.
