TERNIO EUOENIARUM NOVAKUM SlNENSIUM. 5 



10. P. crin'da, Wils., is generally very readily distiuguishecl from its 

 allies by the long hair-like points of its leaves, which are obtuse, and its 

 oval transparent capsule showing the sporangium not contiguous with the 

 external walls ; in its octofarious leaves it agrees with P. Wilsoni, but 

 ditfers by its smooth calyptra, and in the areolation of its leaves. 



11. P. virulifolia, n. sp. {P. pallida, Braithwaite, in Journ. of Bot. VIII. 

 255, non Lindberg) ; leaves obovato-spathulate, obtuse or slightly acute; 

 nerve not very stout, excurrent into a short point ; n)argin recurved 

 about the middle ; cells in the upper part hexagonal or nearly square, 

 their external walls with minute protuberances, obscure with chlorophyll, 

 lower cells oblong, hyaline", smooth; seta short; capsule oblong; lid 

 rostrate; antheridia in the axils of the comal leaves. Hab. Plymouth, 

 Mr. Holmes ; also in Wilson's Muse. Brit., amongst additional specimens 

 of P. crinita. From P. crlnita this differs in its larger and wider leaves, 

 with the upper cells less obscure and less evidently tuberculated, the lower 

 cells less elongated, and the short and slender nerve. 



P. pallida, Liudberg, belongs to this section of the arrangement, 

 which is described in his review of the European Tortula and Trlcho- 

 stoiiifB as having octofarious, panduriform leaves with cells " Irevissimis," 

 the nerve long and fragile, the seta " aureoflava " ; capsule " cylindrico- 

 oblonga," gymnostomous ; operculum rostrate, indistinctly twisted ; calyp- 

 tra smooth ; antheridia in the axils of the comal leaves. This was gathered 

 on the coast of Spain, and, from the precision of the description, must be 

 distinct from all our British species.
