328 BRYOPHYTA OF S. RHODESIA. 



General distribution: Angola, Uganda, Cape Province. (The 

 distribution may probably have to be revised on a better under- 

 standing of the South African plants.) 



Fabronia pilifera Hornsch. — On "Beefwood" tree, Salisbury, 

 alt. 4,900 feet (Eyles, 1447). 



General distribution: Cape Province, Transvaal. 



Fabronia leikipiae CM. — Zimbabwe, alt. 3,000 feet (Sim, 

 8767, 8783, 1 8821). 



The quite entire leaves, abruptly hair-pointed, are very dis- 

 tinct. No. 8821 is somewhat doubtful. The leaves are usually 

 entire, but may have a few teeth at base of acumen and elsewhere. 



General distribution: East tropical Africa (Aberdare Mts.); 

 German East Africa, Cape Province. 



Fabronia victoriae sp. nov. Dixon. 



E tenerioribus generis; caulibus dense intertextis, brevibus, 

 viridibus; folia caulina anguste ovata, sensim acuminata, vix 

 pilifera marginibus fortiter oliolatis; ramea late ovata, acuminata 

 baud longe pilifera, irregulariter, nunc breviter nunc longe cilio- 

 lata, omnia subecostata ; cellulae pellucidae, latiusculae, chloro- 

 phyllosae, alares paucae, subquadratae. 



Theca minuta, ovata, sicca suburceolata, brevicollis. 



Habitat: Victoria Falls, alt, 3,000 feet (Sim, 8943). 



Very distinct in the highly ciliate teeth of the leaf margin, as 

 in no other African species, F. perciliata CM. has the teeth 

 occasionally, but not often ciliate, and in addition has denser much 

 more acuminate leaves with long hair-points. 



Hypopterygiaceae. 



Hypopterygium laricinum (Hook.) Brid. — Wet forest, 

 Iriyanga, alt, 6,000 feet (Henkel, 2634, in herb Eyles) St.

 Africa, Natal, Cape Province, Madagascar. 



Rhacopilaceae. 



F/iacopiliun capense CM. — Victoria Falls, alt. 3,000 feet, 

 (Brunnthaler; Sim, 8892, 8911; Eyles, 112;* Wager, 906). 

 Mostly sterile. Zimbabwe Ruins, alt, 3,000 feet (Sim, 8757) c.fr. ; 

 Umtali, rock in bush, alt, 4,200 feet (Eyles, 1732). 



General distribution : Southern and Central Africa generally. 



Leskeaceae. 



Lindbergia pseudoleskeoides Dixon. — Bulawayo (Sadler, 317,
