Plants slender, scattered not gregarious, light glossy green ; 

 stems from radiculose stolons, 2-3 cm. high, simple and naked be- 

 low ; leaves rosulate, not twisted when dry, 3-5 mm. long, 

 broadly elliptical above, with parallel margins at base, blunt with 

 the vein disappearing below the apex or with a krrate-cuspidate 

 point ; vein heavy and frequently red at base, tapering and van- 

 ishing below the apex; margins of long prosenchymatous cells 

 forming small appressed teeth, entire below. Cells of the lamina 

 parenchymatous, elongated hexagonal. 1X2/^. 



Dioecious. Pedicels single, 3-4 cm. long, stramineous, lus- 

 trous and sulcate; capsule reflexed, horizontal or erect, 5 -7 mm. long, 

 constricted below the mouth, neck short ; teeth with a very faint 

 median line (omitted in fig. 5) segments of endostome split, cilia 

 3-4 not appendiculate, faintly papillose, very irregular, variously 

 divided and elongated ; lid apiculate, calyptra cucuUate, annulus

This species belongs to the section Rhodobryum nearest to 

 B. proliferiim (L). Sibth. {B. roseum, Schreb.), from which it dif- 

 fers in its habit, size, leaves not twisted when dry, pedicels single, 

 marginal cells of leaves longer and in the irregular, not appendi- 

 culate cilia.
