Hedwigidmm inibcrbc Sm. Unduavi, looo ft. (3152) Sterile. 

 Mapiri, 5000 ft. with 3154a fertile. 



Compared with G. Mandon Plantae Andeum Boliviensium 

 Exsicc, no., 1638 vicinius Sorata, labelled Harrisonia rJiabdocarpa 

 Hpe. with which it agrees. As also with Lindig's New Granada, 

 no. 2000. Both of these are considered to be H. hnbcrbe Sm. 

 (Mitt. J. L. Soc. 12: 405). The plants mixed with 3154a are 

 coarser and brighter green, agreeing better with Spruce Musci 

 Am. et. And., nos. 1293-1295, of H. vnberbe. There is consider- 

 able variation in the size and color of this species, also in the de- 

 gree of ramification of the stems and the appression of the leaves, 

 but otherwise the leaves are indistinguishable when placed side by 

 side under the same cover-glass under the microscope. Wed- 

 dell's no. 9 Peru, are small, little over i cm. high and almost sim- 

 ple like 3152 H. H. R., while Spruce no. 1295 and Rusby's 3154a 

 are nearly 6 cm, high and quite pinnately branched. 



Cryphaea (Eucryphaea) Boliviana Sch. mss. Mandon (no, 



1688), vicinius Sorata, 3200 metr., 1857. H. H. Rusby. 



Sorata, 1 0000 ft. 1886(3165). 



Plants large, slender; stems bipinnate, 10-15 cm. long, 

 branches pendant, 5-6 cm. long, branchlets few and distant, 

 I-I.5 cm. long; leaves spreading when dry, those of the 

 branches 2 mm. long, those of the branchlets only about i 

 mm. long, both lanceolate-acuminate, vein ending below the 

 long subulate, serrate apex, margins entire below, slightly 

 recurved in the middle; basal angles auricled, decurrent. Cap- 

 sules two or three together at intervals along the branches, 

 perichetial leaves with a broad, clasping base covering the capsule, 

 vein scarcely extending below the long nearly smooth awn, 

 exceeding the base in length. Capsules 2 mm. long ; peristome 

 double, the outer of long, spreading, broad teeth, the inner of 

 shorter, narrower segments, composed of a double row of papil- 

 lose cells, attached to a basal membrane. 



Allied to C. pdifera Mitt., and possibly referable to that spe- 

 cies, but recognized also by Miiller as a new species, Schimper's 

 name having priority.
