22. Schistomitrium Garduerianum, Mitten; conferte caespitosum, caule 

 erecto fastigiatim ramoso, foliis dense imbricatis erecto-patentibus 

 lanceolatis apice obtusiusculis apieulatis, marginibus inflexis, con- 

 cavis, e basi ad medium tenui hyalino marginatis, perichsetialibus 

 paulo latioribus, tbeca in pedunculo brevissimo minuta foliis peri- 

 chaetialibus immersa hemisphserica cyathiformi gymnostoma, oper-

Resembling S. speciosum, Dzy. et Molk., in size and in the form and 

 structure of its leaves, so closely that the barren plant is scarcely dis- 

 tinguishable. The immersed, cup-shaped, gymnostomate capsule is a 

 new feature amongst the Leucobryaceous Mosses. Mr. Parish states 

 that it grows in tufts like Grimmia pulvinata. 



This curious Moss was first gathered in Brazil by Gardner, with old 

 fruit, in whose collections it was distributed, mixed with Leskea ccespi- 

 tosa^ Sw. {Hypnum crasdusculum^ No. 94) ; from this source the barren 

 plant was described by C. Mueller as a doubtful LeucopJiomeSy from 

 which genus it recedes not only in leaf-structure but in the calyptra. 

 Specimens with perfect fruit have been gathered by Schlim at Minca, 

 at an elevation of 4000 feet, in the province of St. Martha, New Gra- 

 nada, and distributed by Linden as No. 913.
