ulatis, falcato-secundis siccitate crispatis involutis vaginatis, 
vagina latissima oblonga, capsula cylindracea, operculo. ros- 
trato.— Hook. Ic. Plant. t. XVIII. fig. 4. a, nat. size; b, b, 
leaves; c, capsule; d, portion of peristome :—magnified. 
Has. Nepal.—2-3 inches high. Leaves variously twisted 
when dry, distant, patent, their long sheaths clasping the stem.

T 27. Grimmia lazifolia (Hook. fil.) ; caulibus elongatis cses- 
pitosis, foliis mollibus lurido-virescentibus oblongo-lanceolatis

Has. Himala mountains.— Very dissimilar in general ap- 
pearance from any known species of Grimmia, although a care-

that genus.—Stems very lax, somewhat branched. Leaves 
flaccid and laxly set. Sete springing from short lateral 
shoots. Capsules red-brown, with large, angular reticulations. 
Teeth short, yellow above, red beneath. Columella large, sub-
