agreeing better with Weddell's no. 53 from the Andes of Peru, but 

 our plants are smaller with shorter leaves, turning yellower with

Fabronia singulidens cm., n. sp. Ingenio del Oro., loooo ft. 

 March, 1886 (3176) ; Mapiri, lOOOO ft. (3182 pp). 



Plants in dense pale, yellowish-green mats; stems with numer-

Closely related to F. polycavpa Hook, from which it dlflers in ' 

 its abruptly subulate perichetial leaves and its ovate capsule.

Compared with Drepajiiuvi Jiainatiuii Mitt., no. 1046, Spruce 

 Musci Am. et And.), specimens of which are preserved at Kew 

 but are not listed by Mitten. Closely related to this species, but 

 differs in its more clearly veined leaves and longer pedicels.
