Whether this be really the Moscharia pinnatifida of Ruiz and 

 Pavon I must leave for the present undetermined, as there exists 

 no specimen of it in their herbarium ; and the description of 

 the parts of fructification, both in the published account of the 

 genus and also in the manuscripts of Ruiz, cannot be recon- 

 ciled to Gastrocarpha.
