149. S. Немомт, Duby in Flora, (1877) 93. 
On a wall, Yama Goutchi, Dr. Henon. 
The description answers well to a species of this group, and it is possible it may belong 
to S. Haldanianus, so often mistaken from its uncertain aspect. 
150. S. BRACHYCARPUS, sp. n. Monoicus. Caulis procumbens, ramulis approximatis 
iterum ramosis, bipinnatus. Folia subcompressa patenti-incurva; caulina inferne 
ovata, in acumen elongatum, apice latiuseulum, planum, denticulatum producta, 
breviter binervia, cellulis angustis ad angulos basales pluribus subquadratis major- 
ibus pellucidis aurantiacisque, ramea apicibus magis denticulatis; perichetialia 
apicibus patentibus latiusculis denticulatis. Theca in pedunculo elongato inclinata 
ovalis gibba, operculo depresse conico acuto. 
Nantaizan, fruit mature in Sept., Bisset. 
Caulis 1-2-uncialis eleganter decrescenti-pinnatus subfasciculatimve ramosus. Folia 
viridia nitida fuscescentia, appresse imbricata, recta, vel in apicibus caulium ramorumque 
secunda. Pedunculus 2 cm. longus. Theca vix 2 mm. longa, 1 mm. lata. 
A little less than 5. affinis, Mitt., and 5. bipinnatus, the ramuli more close and the 
capsule very different. 
There is another Indian species which comes nearer in size :—

rentibus. Folia subcompressa erecto-patentia, apicalia secunda falcataque, caulina

culatis, nervis inconspicuis, cellulis angustis alaribus conspicuis oblongis quadratis- 
que pellucidis aurantiacisque; perichætialia patentia, apicibus latis denticulatis.
