108 CENSUS MUSCORUM AUSTRALIENSIUM, II., 



T A Y L o R I A (continued). [Splachnacece. 



631, T. ocTOBLEPiiARis (Hook., M. Exot., Splachnum Octo- 

 hlepharum) Mitt.; Dissodon 'Pa.r. Index; D. cuspidatus 

 CM.; D. plagiopus (Mont.) CM., Jaeg. Ad. 



Throughout Australia and Tasmania, Recorded for W.A., 

 S.A., Vic, N.S.W., and Q. The Melb. Herb, contains specimens 

 coll. by the late Baron von Mueller from all the States. Found 

 by many collectors since. Plentiful on the Blue Mtns., and in 

 New England, N.S.W. Common in Tasmania. 



CM. limits T. octohlepharis to Tas., and keeps T. plagiopus 

 (Mont.) for Ins. Auckland. Broth. Bryales omits 7'. plagiopus 

 and extends T. octoblepha7ns to N.Z. and the Auckland and 

 Campbell Islands. 



(a) var. major (H.f.W. El. Antarct,), Jaeg. Ad. 

 Ta.s., on trees and rocks : Mossman. Johnny's Creek : Oldfield. 



(b) var. MINOR CM. and Hpe. in Linn. '53 (name only). 

 Vic. {1), Irishtown : F.v.M., herb. Melb. 



(c) var. PIRIFORMIS (H.f.W.), Jaeg. Ad. 

 Tas., on trees and rocks : Mossman. 



T. paUescens (CM. in litt., Dissodon). The moss so 

 named, coll. by Reader at Murrumbeena, Vic, in 



^^Q, is T. octohlepharis. 



T. purpurascens (H.f.W.) is recorded in herb. Melb. 

 for Blue Mtns., N.S.W. The record is doubtful, 

 though the specimen which I have seen differs from 

 the typical T. octoblepliaris. It may be a form 

 intermediate between the two species. — W.W.W.

 Bryales; Splachnum Gunnii, fid. Mitt.
