Some of these collections, chiefly nos. 7647, 7649, and 7650, have 

 elongate and narrow leaves like B. lanceolifolium Card. ; but the 

 cuspid, the reflection of the edges, and the areolation are characters 

 which connect them closely to B. laxuhim. 



BRYUM Sect. ARGYROBRYUM 



The species of this section belonging to Brother Arsene's collection 

 are cited or described in the first paper. 



BRYUM ARGENTEUM L.

 A form tending toward var. brachycarpum Card. 



BRYUM ARGENTEUM L. var. COSTARICENSE Rev. & Card.

This is a very curious plant. The capsule, narrowly cyHndrical and 

 attenuate into a long neck, would make one believe it a good species if 

 one did not find in the same cluster shorter capsules of a different 

 outline, among which some insensibly approach the typical form of 

 B. argenteiim. 



BRYUM LIEBMANNIANUM C. M. Syn. 2: 573. 1851 

 Mexico: Upon a roof {Bro. Amable).
