 ngaio trees (Myoporum latum), Maunganiana Bay, Kaikoura;

Eucamptodon inflatus, Mitten. Hypnum inflatum, H. f. 

 and W. Fl. N.Z., ii., tab. 90, fig. 5. 



" I send a stem of the Hypnum inflatum of Fl. N.Z. No 

 fruit has been seen. I keep it as a species of Eucamptodon 

 which is almost the same as Dicncmon: but Eucamptodon has 

 an erect capsule ; in the other genera it is curved and unequal. 

 These are dicranoid mosses, having no affinity with Hypna 

 of any kind. Eucamptodon inflatus is the finest species yet 

 discovered. In both genera, Dicnemon and Eucamptodon, 

 the primary stem is creeping, from which fertile branches 

 arise."— W. Mitten in litt.
