Has. In a marsh at Tung-zan, on the borders of a Paddy-field. 
Stem six inches long, resembling that of H. Crista-Castrensis, 
but the branches are less numerous, and the leaves not striate. It 
is intermediate between that species and H. pratense, Koch. Seta 
three inches long. Calyptra reddish in this specimen, but whitish 
in No. 44, which is a smaller state of the species. It differs from 
H. cupressiforme, in the decidedly serrulate leaves and much 
curved capsule.—Dioicous. (?)

46. Hypnum scaturigenum, Schwaegr. Suppl. I. vol. ii. p. 197. (?): 
A very large aquatic state, without fruit. Stems four inches 
long and much branched. This Moss may be the same 
species as Hookeria prelonga, Arnott, (Diss. Meth.), and pos- - 
sibly, also, Hypnum vesiculare, Schwaegr. The leaves are ovate, 
obliquely acuminate, entire (not serrulate and acuminato-pili- 
form, as Bridel describes them), and the areole large and 
rhomboid. In a pond at Chusan.
