Hab. On the branches of a Live Oak, Florida (J. Donnell Smith). 



Mode of growth and form of capsule much as in Hijpnum microcarprim, 

 but smaller in all its parts, with narrower and more narrowly reticulated 

 leaves, the inflated cells at the basal angles more numerous, peristome 

 different, etc. Remarkable for the prominent articulations of the pci-i- 

 stomal teeth. — (Austin.) We have seen no specimens. The description 

 agrees with the characters of Hypnum microcarpum, Muell., in the
