Shoots brownish, naked beneath, the leafy part about four lines 
long. Leaves when dry remaining flattish, not twisted. Pedi- 
cels two inches high. Peristome short, of sixteen reddish, erect, 
sometimes bifid teeth. Capsule erect, very slightly curved, some- 
what rough, with projecting cellules. The figure of the capsule 
may be compared with that of P. angustatum, Hook.; but the 
stiff, straight leaves, destitute of undulations, are sufficient differ- 
ences. No male flowers were observed.

l. B. incana, Tayl. Caule cæspitoso, dichotomo ; surculis abbre- 
Viatis, erectis; foliis arcte imbricatis, erectis, tam madore quam _ 
. siccitate strictis, triangulari-lanceolatis, acuminatis, subserru- 
latis, apice incanis; setis axillaribus caulem superantibus ; 
capsula erecta, oblongo-rotundata, striata.

Stems about one inch high; shoots dusky olive, the very 
youngest only green; branches slightly divaricating. ^ Leaves 
straight, rigid, their position little altered by moisture, their points 
 diaphanous and colourless. Capsule twice as wide as the shoots. 
Outer peristome of sixteen truncate teeth, the inner appeared to 
be thinner and yellower, but traces only were visible on the speci- 
mens. The hoary leaves, whose margins are not reflexed, and the — 
greater and more erect capsules, distinguish this from B. stricta, 
Schwaeg. No male flowers were observed.

integerrimis; capsula inclinata, elongate pyriformi, levi, apo- 
physi obconica longitudinaliter rugosa; operculo plano.
