This fine species differs from M. affine^ Bland., in its longer and 

 narrower leaves, which are widely decurrent at their bases ; in M. 

 affi7ie the leaves are narrowed to a base not wider than the stem, and 

 not at all decurrent. In its general appearance this Moss is interme- 



M. afUne and M. 



very nearly when dry. The stems most frequently bear several cap- 

 sules, whicb resemble those of M, affine.
