Hab. Coast Bange, Mendocino, Bol. 

 This species much resembles L. pallidum, Hmp. But, besides the difference in 

 the peristome, it is easily distinguished by its green color — the shorter, broader capsule 

 borne on a shorter, thicker pedicel, having a longer, dark-red operculum. The leaves, 

 also, of our species are much longer ; their basilar reticulation larger, etc. The male 

 flowers are gemmiform, axillary, and their leaves large, ovate, short, lanceolate, 

 obtuse. 



44. L. flexicaule, Schwasgr. 



Hab. Cascade Mts., Lyall.
