* Eusyrrhopodon.—Caulis erectus. Folia limbo pallido vel hyalino marginata. 
+ Folia basi integerrima. 
l. S. albovaginatus, Schw. t. 131; dioicus; caulis humilis, laxe cæspitosus; folia inter se 
remotiuscula, dimidio inferiore erecta, e cellulis hyalinis areolata, dimidio superiore patentia divergen- 
tiaque lineali-ligulata, strictiuscula, planiuscula, sicca recurva, apice obtusa, margine limbo angusto 
apice denticulato cireumdata et in parte superiore anguste inflexa, nervo percurrente dorso papillis 
aspero, cellulis obscuris papillis grossiusculis aculeiformibus prominulis; theca in pedunculo gracili 
ovali cylindracea, operculo subulato breviore.— Viti (Milne! Herb. Hooker), Samoa (Powell !), 
Rauwack (Gaudichaud !), Isle of Pines (Strange !). 
2. S. lævigatus (sp.nov.), Mitt.; caulis gracilis, elongatus, parum divisus, laxe cæspitosus; 
folia tristicha, tertio parte inferiore eorum longitudinis erecta, latiora, complicata, e cellulis hyalinis 
teneris areolata, limbo cartilagineo levi marginata, exinde patentia lineali-subulata canaliculata, 
nervo crassiusculo intus levi extus versus apicem dentibus hyalinis remotiusculis armato, cæteroquin 
levi, margine limbo cartilagineo apicem versus denticulato circumdata, cellulis minutis rotundis

tristichus, Mitt. in Linn. Soc. Journ. 1868, p. 176.—Ovalau (Milne! in Herb. Hooker), Samoa, on 
trees near the crater of Tafua-a Upolu, 1000 ft. (Powell! n. 74). 
In external appearance closely resembling S. tristichus, Nees, Bryol. Javan. t. 44; but in that species 
the nerve throughout the patent portion of the leaf, and for a short distance below it, is equally erose with 
densely placed minute dentiform papillæ. 
3. S. luteus, Mitt. Journ. of the Proceed. Linn. Soc. 1868, p. 188; rami elongati, laxe cæspi- 
tosi; folia a basi brevi erectiore ad insertionem constricta, superne parum latiora, patentia, sicca 
contorta subsecunda, linearia, elongata, sensim acuminata, nervo pereurrente, margine undulata 
serrulata, limbo inferne latiore apicem versus evanido, cellulis hyalinis spatium parvum occupantibus, 
reliquis omnibus parvis anguloso-rotundatis obscuriusculis, papillis inconspicuis parietibus pellucidi- 
oribus ; folia perichætialia erectiora, caulinis similia ; theca in pedunculo brevi cylindracea.—Ovalau, 
on stones in the mountains (Milne !) ; also Samoa, Tutuila (Powell! 106). 
A little more slender than S. fasciculatus, with narrower leaves, more acute at their points, and scarcely 
dilated at their bases.

lina, C. Mueller, Syn. vol. i. p. 523.
