Marion Island. Moseley. 



This small species, with plumose foliage, closely resembles Bartramia quadrata, but 

 on a close comparison it is found to have its leaf-cells wider, and only half as long ; they 

 are, in fact, two or three times longer than wide, whilst in Bartramia quadrata they are 

 six times longer than wide. Bartramia quadrata and Bartramia capensis formed the 

 genus Glyphocarpus of Brown ; they differ from the Bartramidula of Schimper in their 

 stiff foliage, but too little is known of these species to form an opinion of their affinities ; 

 they seem to show some approximation to Breutelia rather than to Philonotis.

Bartramia (Breutelia) dumosa, Mitt, in Journ. Linn. Soc. Lond., xii. p. 267, et xv., p. 70. 



Marion Island. — Sterile — Moseley. 



The original specimens of this species, collected by Sir J. D. Hooker in Hermite Island, 

 have the seta about half an inch long, and in this agree exactly with those from Marion 

 Island, and differ from the Bartramia chilensis, Lorentz, which has a seta from one to 

 one and a half inches long — a small difference, but it enables them to be distinguished at 

 sight. This was overlooked at the time the Flora Antarctica was published.
