42. Meesia macrantha^ Mitten ; monoica, csespitosa, caule ramose bre- 

 viusculo, foliis lanceolatis obtusis margine reciirvis nervo sub apice 

 evanido, perichsetialibus longioribus, theca in pedtinculo elongato- 

 pyriformi curvula, operculo conico obtuso, peristomio externo den- 

 tibus brevibus obtusis, iuterno processibus longis carinatis vugulosis, 

 flore masculo in ratnulo brevi, foliis perigonialibus latissime ovatis 

 pcuminatis obtusis. 



Hab. "In sphagnetis Montis Cobboras rarissima.'* 

 Similar to Jf. uliginosa^ but its leaves are wider, vvitli wider cells, 

 and the margin plane or recurved, but not reflexed. The perigonial 

 leaves are remarkably wide at their bases, and the male flower large 

 for the size of the Moss. 



4. BARTEAMOIDE^. 



43. Bartramia (Bartramidula) curvirostra^ Mitten ; monoica, conferte 

 csespitosa, caule brevi ramoso, foliis erecto-patentibus lanceolatis 

 margine apicem versus remote serratis, nervo crasso dorso deuticu- 

 lato apice in mucronem subulatura Isevem excurrente, pericha^tialibus 

 longioribus lanceolato-subulatis nervo tenuiore, theca in pedunculo 

 brevi flexuoso sphaerica laevissima ore parvo gymnostoma, operculo 

 conico-subulato incurvo, flore masculo in ramulis terminalibus inno- 

 vatioue laterali, 

 Hab. Australian Alps. (No. 83.) Munyang Mountains. (No. 83, 



1855.) 



Resembling 5. TFiUoni, B. et S., but the whole plant a little more 



robust, the seta thicker, the operculum as long as half tlie diameter of 



the capsule, and always much incurved.

1855.) 



Wils 



The capsule of this curious species is globose, sulcata, and rather 

 large for the size of the Moss, the operculum conic. The peristome 

 appears to be normal, but rather tender. The whole plant is of an 

 ashy-green colour and everywhere densely papillose; it is not very 

 closely aUied to B. laxissima, C. Mueller. 

 46. B. (Philonotis) fert'dis, Mitten; monoica, caule elongato gracili
