Tortilla [Barbnla) campylocarpa Taylor. Unduavi, 8000 ft. 

 October, 1885 (3127). 



Compared with Spruce Musci Am. et And. nos. 185 and 201, 

 agrees with specimens at Kew and has been verified by Bescherelle. 

 Also compared with T. rectifolia Taylor, nos. 193-196, Spruce, 

 from which it differs in its larger size and longer, more acuminate 

 leaves. 



Barbula austro-revoluta Besch. mss. Near La Paz, loooo ft. 

 April, 1885 (3129). 



Plants in dense light yellowish-green or slightly glaucous, and 

 dirty tufts; stems I-2 cm. high uith numerous, slender, subapical 

 branches; leaves erect-spreading when moist, spirally twisted 

 around the stem when dry, small, i mm. or less long, with strongly 

 revolute margins and a broad, thick, yellow vein, ending in and 

 forming the blunt apex; lower cells oblong, clear; upper smaller, 

 denser and papillose; dioecious (?), perichetial leaves with a 

 longer, more hyaline, clasping base. Pedicels light yellow, 5-7 

 mm. long; capsule 2 mm.; lid conic-beaked,cells spirally formed ; 

 peristome immature. 



Closely related to no. 1622 of Mandon's Bolivian Mosses, col- 

 lected in April, 1856, near Sorata, and labelled B. glaiiccscois in 

 Herb. Schimper, but differing in the shorter, more blunt leaves, 

 the more revolute margins, and in the yellow pedicel. Bescherelle 

 says of it, "j5. revobita affinis sed foliis magis obtusa acuminatis 

 glaucescentibus cucullatis ; pedicello flavo, peristomio longe 

 distat." 



ToRTULA (5j/;///7(f///<7) sp.? Near Yungas, 4000 ft., 1885 (3124). 



Unduavi, 8000 feet. October, 1885 (3125 and 3127 pp). 



Plants in dirty, yellowish-brown tuffs; stems 1-I.5 cm. high, 

 branching ; much abraded and discolored below; leaves erect-ap- 

 pressed when dry, tufted on the stems, upper, green with white 

 hair-points, the vein papillose on back, and excurrent into a rough 

 awn, apex rounded, margins involute ; upper cells densely papil- 

 lose, lower, clear and hyaline. Dioecious? Seta 10-12 mm. long, 

 red below, twisted ; capsule narrowly cylindric, i mm. long, 

 straight or slightly arcuate when old, with a long-exserted colu- 

 mella; mouth small, annulus narrow, falling in fragments when 

 old ; peristome short or broken, twisted from a short basal mem- 

 brane ; teeth pale, papillose. 



These plants were compared with several of Mandon's Plantae 

 Andes Boliviensium, but their alliance was not determined by me 

 while at Kew, nor by M. Bescherelle, to whom they were subse- 

 quently submitted.
