Swamps, Queen Charlotte Islands, and Comox, Vancouver Island, 1878, 
1885. (Dawson.) Near Victoria, and at Comox, Vancouver Island, 
1875, 1887. (Macoun.) 
Leskea Moseri, Kindb. (N. sp.) 
Stems creeping, irregularly branching or pinnate. Leaves small, 
green, not glossy, from a. short ovate, at the borders recurved, base, nar- 
rowed to a longer and filiform acumen, entire, indistinctly papillose ; 
cells rotundate or quadrate ; costa percurrent or excurrent. Pereche- 
tial leaves narrowly ovate-oblong, obtusate, short-acuminate, serrate 
above, at least to the middle. Capsule erect, cylindric-lanceolate, with 
a small mouth ; peristome pale ; endostome as long as the teeth ; cilia 
none ; lid conic, short-apiculate ; pedicel about 2 cm. long. Male 
flowers not found. Differs from Leskea nervosa, principally in the leaves 
being longer-acuminate, and the perichetial ones subobtuse ; it differs 
also in the peristome. 
Tay Forks, York Co., N.B., 1890. (J. Moser.) 
Anomodon platyphyllus, Kindb. (N. sp.) 
A. obhtsifolius, Can. Muse, No. 256 ; Macoun Cat., Pt. VI, 171. 
Stem irregularly divided or irregularly pinnate ; branches thick ; 
leaves large, pherifarious and crisped when dry, (as in the Anomodon 
apiculatus and A. viticulosus), undulate and entire at the borders, very 
broad, nearly ovate-oblong or from a little broader, cordate and strongly 
papillose, base slightly narrowed to the Ungulate at apex rounded 
acumen ; inner basal cells subhyaline, not well-defined. Perichetial 
leaves strongly papillose and subdentate at the base, and contracted 
to a narrow, Ungulate acumen. Capsule much smaller than in A. api- 
culatus, oval-oblong ; endostome rudimentary ; lid short-conic, not 
rostellate ; pedicel yellow, less than 1 cm. long. Dioecious. 
Differs from all our other species in the broader leaves, from the 
nearly allied in the small capsule. 
Apparently all my specimens of A. obtusifolius are of this species.
