100. N. lancifolia (Harv.); caule basi subnudo, apice 
fasciculatim ramoso, ramis compressis, foliis lanceolato-ovatis 
semi-serratis enervibus, inferioribus ovatis acutis subinteger- 
rimis.—Hook, Ic. Plant. t. XXI. fig. 5. a, upper leaves ; b, 
lower leaf: —magnified. 
Has. Nepal.—Stems erect, straggling, 2-4 inches me 
subsimple below, irregularly branched above. Leaves closely 
imbricated, very straight when dry, narrow-oblong, acute, 
contracted and subconcave at the base, flat above, the upper 
half sharply serrate. Lower leaves much shorter and less 
serrate than the upper. Fruit unknown. This species 
appears to grow on the ground and to inhabit moist boggy 
spots; our specimens were entwined among Dicranum glau- - 
cum and megalophyllum. : 
101. N. flexuosa (Harv.) ; caule decumbente ramosissimo, - 
ramis pinnatis vel bipinnatis flexuosis apicibus involutis, foliis 
_orbicularibus obtusissimis imbricatis concavis ultra medium 
nervosis marginibus reflexis, capsula immersa.— Hook. Ic. Pl. 
t. XXI. fig. 3. a, plant, nat. size; b, leaf; c, capsule and 
perichetium:—magnified. 
Has. Nepal.—Stems pendent, 4-6 inches long, slender, dif- 
fusely branched, very flexuose, of a rich brown colour. Leaves - 
orbicular, very concave, with revolute margins. :

Has. Nepal.— A very pretty little species, resembling N. 
crispatula i in miniature; but well distinguished by the broadly 
ovate, acuminated, strongly nerved leaves, incurved when dry — 
(never secund), by the shorter and broader capsules and the 
straight operculum. The leaves of the lower portion of the stem 
are broadly ovate at the base, with a very sudden subulate 
acumination; those of the upper part are more gradually 
tapering.
