Lophocolea inconspicua, Mitt, in Journ. Linn. Soc. Lond., xv. p. 64. 



Tristan da Cunha. — Endemic. On the earth amongst mosses, chiefly Bryv/m mega- 

 lacrion — Moseley. 



A very small, dull, olive-brown coloured species ; it appears to belong to that group of 

 the Lophocolew which have bidentate leaves on some portions of their stems, but with the 

 leaves near the perianth entire. 



Chiloscyphus lucidus, Mitt. 



Chiloscyphus lucidus, Mitt, in Journ. Linn. Soc. Lond., xv. p. 64. 



Tristan da Cunha. — Endemic. Growing on the earth amongst moss — Moseley. 



This in foliage resembles many species of Lophocolea which are generally similar to the 

 European Lophocolea bidentata, but its perianth is borne on a lateral branch, and is of 

 small size, its apex subtruncate, and there it is trigonous, below it is terete.
