186 MR. W. MITTEN ON THE SPECIES OF 
cibus. Folia dense inserta erecto-patentia, caulina ovata, sensim longe subulato- 
angustata integerrima, ramea ovato-lanceolata sensim angustata, acuta, subserrulata, 
nervo infra apicem evanescente carinata, cellulis superioribus oblongis limitibus 
latiusculis, inferioribus magis approximatis ; perichzetialia erecta subulato-attenuata. 
Theca in pedunculo levi rubro ovalis, inclinata, subhorizontalis, inzequalis, operculo 
subulirostro thecam æquante. Calyptra nuda. 
Hakone Pass, with young fruit in October, Bisset. 
Cæspites depressi. Каті vix semiunciales, plus minus curvati, sæpe apicibus atte- 
nuatis. Folia luteo-viridia absque nitore, sicca plicata. Pedunculus semiunciam longus, 
ruberrimus, crassiusculus. 
Closely similar to Hypnum plicatum in the colour and substance of its leaves, which . 
are not so much plicate. No paraphylla have been seen. 
The peculiar areolation of the leaves in H. plicatum, which separates it from the 
species allied to H. lutescens, is observable in Lescurea striata and L. insignis, and seems 
to indicate that these species stand in the same relation to И. plicatum that Н. sericeum 
does to H. lutescens. 4

In spreading patches, with fruit just ripened, * Challenger’ Exp.; also by Dickens and

This with a number of similar species, chiefly Oriental, seem to agree better with the 
genus Amblystegium than with Pseudoleskea or Thuidium.

Described as larger and more rigid than A. capillatum. A much smaller species is 
А. COMPRESSUM, sp.n. Monoicum. Depresse ceespitosum. Caulis subpinnatim ramosus, 
procumbens. Folia late subcordata acuminata, nervo infra apicem desinente, ramea 
compressa lateralia divaricata, ovata, obtuse acuta, nervo concolore percurrente, 
cellulis minutis rotundatis papillis minutissimis obscuratis areolata; perichzetialia 
elongata, pallida, cellulis elongatis subpellucidis. Тһеса in pedunculo rubro inclinata, 
curvula, oblonga, operculo conico.
