460 SUMMARY OF CURRENT RESEARCHES RELATING TO 



Hepaticae from Florida.*— A. W. Evans publishes some notes on 

 new or noteworthy Hepaticae from southern Florida, based on collections 

 made under the direction of the New York Botanical Garden. The 

 majority of specimens were gathered in the region south of Miami. The 

 author remarks on the intimate relationship which exists between the 

 hepatic flora of Florida and that of the "West Indies, more than half 

 the species of the collections under discussion being common to both 

 regions. Three new species are described, Plagiochila Small Hi, Colo- 

 lejeunea diaphana, and Lejeunea floridana. Six others are here definitely 

 recorded for the first time from the United States.

A knell, H. W. — Phaenological observations on Mosses. 



[The author shows how the species of Polytrichum may be divided into two 

 groups, according to the time required for the development of their sporo- 

 gonia. He appeals to bryologists to collect records of the dates when some 

 32 selected species bloom and ripen their spores, and gives instructions as 

 to how these observations should be made. The dates and times vary with 

 the latitude and longitude. The author gives a table of comparative 

 results for Sweden and Germany, selected from papers published by him- 

 self in 1875, and by A. Grimme in 1903.]

 Hook, is made the type of the new genus Dendroalsia. 

 which takes for its second species Leptodon circinalis 

 Sull., and for its third species Ahia longipes Sull. and 

 Lesq. ; Macouniella Kindb. is reduced, and its species 

 restored to Antitrichia. Two new American species of 

 Erpodium are described.]
