CONSPECTUS TABULARUM. 63 
on my own, I now solicit from correspondents in South Africa, speci- 
mens of Mosses and Hepatice and Lichenes. 
Fic. A.—Eruemervm piversirorium, Mitt. 
E. diversifolium : monoicum, habitu, E. sessilis, foliis inferioribus 
seu exterioribus patulis lanceolatis sensim angustatis nervo percurrente 
integerrimis interioribus longioribus erectioribus superne latioribus 
enerviis integerrimis, theca sessile ovata rostellata, floribus masculis 
parvis gemmiformibus ad basin cauli aggregatis. 
Haxs.—In a field near the Zwartkop’s River, Uitenhage, Zeyher. (Herb. Mitten.) 
The distinctly nerved exterior and nerveless interior leaves of this 
species, as well as their entire margins, suffice to distinguish it from all 
its allies ; it produces an abundance of stolones, which are much branched 
at their extremities and almost bury the plants, when in a fertile state, 
in a stratum of confervoid filaments. 
Fig. 1, Plant of the natural size. Fig. 2, the same; 3, an exterior leaf; 4, an in- 
terior leaf; and 5, the capsule, vaginula, and calyptra; all magnified. 
Fie. B.—Entosrnopon ciavatus, Mitt. 
E. clavatus: monoicus caule brevi foliis comalibus patentibus ovali- 
ellipticis acumine brevi flexo nervo sub apice evanido margine integer- 
rimis theca in pedunculo brevi horizontale claviformi operculo plano 
peristomio nullo ? 
Has.—Cape of Good Hope, Menzies. (Herb. Hooker et Mitten.) 
Allied to the Abyssinian £. eurvipes, but with a more clavate cap- 
sule, which appears to be destitute of peristome, and the leaves are of a 
more elliptic form. The calyptra has not been seen. 
Fig. 1, A plant of the natural size; 2, the same; and 3, a leaf, magnified. 
Fig. C.—Entosraopon urceoxatus, Mitt. 
___E. ureeolatus: monoicus? caule brevi foliis patentibus comalibus 
elliptico-lanceolatis sub-spathulatis acuminatis nervo excurrente mar- 
ginibus apicem versus indistincte serratis integerrimisve theca in pe- 
dunculo brevi inclinata pyriformi longicolla deoperculata sub ore con- 
stricta urceolata operculo brevi conico sub-plano peristomio nullo. 
Has.—East London, Capt. E. Rooper. (Herb. Hooker et Mitten.) 
The excurrent nerve of the leaves and the long neck of the capsule, 
as well as its urceolate form after the fall of the operculum, readily dis- 
tinguished this species from its allies. £. Rottler:, from the East Indies, 
is, according to authentic specimens, a larger species with a clavate 
capsule. The calyptra has not been observed in situ; it offers no pecu- 
Fig. 1, Plant; natural size; 2, the same; 3, a leaf; and 4, the capsule after the 
escape of the sporules; all magnified.
