SCHLOTHEIMIA, Brid. 



S. Jamesoni, Brid. Bryol. Univ. i. 742 (1826). Orthotrichum 

 Jamesoni, Arn. Trans. Wern. Soc. v. 201 (1824). — Albemarle Isl. : 

 Iguana Cove, 30 Dec. 1898, Snodgrass & Heller. Further distrib. 

 Brazil. The specimens referred to this species were sterile. The leaf 

 structure agrees so well with that of S. Jamesoni in herb. Taylor that 

 the name may be retained here. The relations of S. Jamesoni to S. 

 nitida, Schwaeg., are not well defined and in herb. Sullivant the 

 S. Jamesoni of the Wilkes Expedition was later considered to be 

 S. nitida.
