52 CATALOGUE OF CRYPTOGAMIC PLANTS. 
_ at the summits of the stems are of a dull green, the lower ones fer- 
ruginous, the sete are often several from the same perichætium, and 
short for the size of the moss; the peristome is short, and pale, com- 
bined for about one-eighth part of its length. 
The nearest allies to this species are B. robusta and B. serrulata, 
but it is very distinct from any species with which I am acquainted.

12. Fissidens repandus, Wils. in schedula ; dioieus, humilis subsim- 
plex, foliis circiter 8-jugis erecto-patentibus marginatis apice 
acuminatis recurvis, lamina 2 producta dorsali basi angustata, 
areolis e cellulis minutissimis viridibus et obscuris, theca erecta vel 
paululum inclinata ovali, operculo erecto conico subulato, calyptra 
latere fissa. 
- I give the above short character, although I have great reason to 
suppose this moss to be the same as F. Ceylonensis, Dozy et Molkb. 
I have specimens corresponding very nearly from the Neelgherries. 
This species appears to differ most from its alles, by the acuminate 
upper portion of the lamina and the mirfute opake cells.
