REMARKS ON DRUMMOND's MUSCI AMERICANI. 439 



183. H. strigosum — Some of the specimens resemble Leskea 

 fascictdosa, Hedw. Sp. M. t. 54. H. pulchelluniy Hedw. Sp. 

 M. t. 68, does not agree well with any. 



188. H. serpens, var, compactum. — A very distinct, per- 

 haps new species, having the leaves serrulate with a strong 

 percurrent nerve. Capsule erect. Peristome nearly that of 

 Leskea, having the ciliseofthe inner fringe very minute. 



192. H. illecebrum, Hedw. — This is //. Boscii, Scluvaegr. 

 SffppL I. u. p. 203. 



196. H. amarmm — Not of Hedvvig, Sp. M. t. 77. Proba- 

 bly a variety of H. cupressiforme. 



204. H. fluitans, var The ovate leaves are very unlike 



those of H. Jluitans; they are also wider in proportion than 

 those of H. riparimn : from both of these the Moss here given 

 is probably distinct. It has some resemblance to H. orthocla- 

 don, as also to H. inordmatutn, and H. pachypoma, Schwaegr. 

 Suppl. t. 287. 



206. H. cupressiforme, var. — This may be distinct: the 

 margin of the leaf is much recurved. Compare H. reptile, 

 Bridel. 



207. H. cupressiforme, var Compare H. recurvans. This 



also has the margin of the leaf recurved and serrulate. Some 

 of the specimens belong to II. imponens, Hedw. 



211. H. trifarium. — The specimens are more like H. inolle; 

 leaves faintly 2-nerved at the base. 



214. H. proIiferu?n, vnr. compactum. — The specimens are 

 not all uniform, some of them belonging to the next species, 

 II. Blandovii, No. 215. Those intended to be given under 

 this name are very interesting, because they agree well with 

 H. recognifum, Hedw. Muse. Frond, v. iv. t. 35, having the 

 conical operculum expressive of that species. It has a some- 

 what different aspect from II. proliferum, No. 213, and may 

 be truly distinct. 



217. H. abietimim, var. — Probably H. varium, Bridel. 



219. H. catenulatum. — Certainly a distinct species. In a 

 moist state this Moss is remarkable for its strongly aromatic 

 scent resembling the plant called F(Enugreek.
