 P. macounii KINDB. in Bull. Torr. Bot. Club, xvi, p. 96.

No precise limits exist between P. alpinum and P. macounii. 

 Kindberg attributes 60 lamellte to the leaves of his species, but 

 on the specimens which he sent to us we find only from 40 to 50 

 lamellae ; and, on the other hand, P. alpinum, to which he at- 

 tributes only 30 lamellae, often has 40. (Cfr. Barclay, Muscine"es de la 

 France, p. 198, and Limpricht, Laubmoose, n, p. 615.) There is no 

 other more constant difference between the two mosses. P. macounii 

 is therefore only a variety of P. alpinum, characterized by its greater 

 dimensions, its longer leaves, more widely spreading when dry and 

 usually provided with more numerous lamellae (40 to 50). This var. 

 macounii represents an extreme form of P. alpinum, of which the
