There is no specimen in Schimper's Herbarium at Kew bear- 

 ng this name, so no comparison was possible. These specimens 

 of Dr. Rusby's have the leaves strongly costate to the apex, the 

 costa is papillose on the back, the margins are entire below, 

 serrate and recurved above, papillose and undulate, the upper cells 

 are smaU and round, but not opaque, the basal cells longer and 

 brown. 

 Hoi.OMiTRiUM BoLiviANUM C. MiiUcr, n. sp. Near Yungas, 4000 



ft. (3190)- 



Plants in light yellowish tangled mats, mixed with hepatics; 

 stems 3-4 cm. long, flexuous and matted, with light-colored 

 tomentum ; leaves 3-5 mm. long, linear lanceolate, twisted and 

 curled when dry, costate to apex, serrate and papillose above as 

 well as undulate, entire with revolute margins below; cells round 

 and small, lower ones hyaline. Plants sterile. 



This species was compared with H. flexiiosum Mitt, at Kew, 

 but it differs from No. 21 Spruce from Andes Ouitenses in the 

 leaves, nor does it agree with any other species from this region 

 at Kew. It should be compared with H. longifoliwu Hpe.
