A List of mme Mosses and Hepatic^, collected hy the Eev. Charles 

 Parish, at Moulraein, and communicated to Sir W. J. Hooker ] hy

(Tab. XII. C.) 

 Musci. 



1. Garckea^^flscoic^es, C. Miiller. (Dicranum, Tlook,) 

 Hab. On clay-bauks. (No. 6.) 



2. Leucoloma Taylori. (Syrrhopodon, ScJiw,) 

 Hab. On trees in jungles. (Nos. 10, 19.) 



3. Leucoloma teneriwt, Mitten, MSS, 

 Hab. Moulmein. (No. 0.) 

 Closely allied to L, moUe (Dicranum, C. Mullef)^ but differing thus : 



r 



plants more slender; leaves not papillose on the back, the margin evi- 

 dently hyaline about the base of the subulate portion of the leaf, the 

 cells of the middle band more minute and obscure, those of the base, 

 *^cellulse alares," firmer and red-brown. Mr. Parish mentions his 

 having seen the fruit ; but it is not present on the specimens sent, 



4. Dicranum (Campylopus) snbliiteiimy Mitten, MSS, 



Hab. Nwa-labo (the Ox's-hump), a mountain near Tavoy. - 

 Habit and general appearance similar to that of B, (C.) Jtexmsuniy 

 but more robust, with leaves suddenly narrowed from an oblong base 

 into a long, subulate point, consisting almost entirely of nerve, smooth 

 behind and slightly denticulate at its apex ; the base is composed of 

 firm and uniform cells, the nerve occupying one-third of the whole 

 width ; the " cellulge alares " are small, pale-red, and plane. 



In all the species yet received from India with fii'm cell-structure in 

 the lower part of the leaf, the pagina gradually tapers off towards the 

 point, but in this it is abruptly contracted. 



5. 'DiA^modiOnflaccldus. (Weissia, Harvey.) 

 Hab. On the ground in damp places- (No. 4.) 



This curious little species is closely allied to J). spJiachnifoUm, 

 Hooker, with which it is certainly congeneric* The mouth of the cap- 

 sule is remarkably thickened and contracted, so that the short red 

 teeth are nearly horizontal in their direction, a little irregidar at tlieir 

 sides, and the m^edial line scarcely evident. The leaf structure corre- 

 sponds with that of D./euu/olins, but is thinner and more flaccid.
