METEORIACEAE 



PILOTRICHELLA FLEXILIS (Sw.) Jaeg., forma 



P. turgescens (C. M.) Jaeg.; Neckera turgcscens C. M. Syn. 2 : 131. 1850. 



Puebla: Esperanza (4750, 4757). Morelia : Cerro Azul (4979, 

 4986). Veracruz: Jalapa (7993,8003). 



PAPILLARIA APPRESSA (Hornsch.) Jaeg. 



Puebla: Xuchitl (7991). Veracruz: Cordoba (s. n.), forma /?agf^/- 

 lifera. 



Mrs. E. G. Britton considers this species a synonym of P. nigrcsccns

PAPILLARIA HAHNII Besch.; Ren. & Card. Bull. Soc. Roy. Bot. Belg.

Puebla: Xuchitl (7997). \ eracruz : Jalapa (7999). 



PAPILLARIA DEPPEI (Hornsch.) Jaeg. 



Puebla: Boca del Monte (4689) ; Esperanza (4749, 475i). 



No. 4751 has leaves ending in a very long and very fine acumen, 

 like those of P. suhidifolia Schimp., w^hich, in my opinion, should not 

 be kept specifically distinct from P. Dcppei. I might add that the 

 differences I have observed between P. Dcppei and P. Hahnii are not 

 of great systematic importance.

Neckera illecebra C. M. Syn. 2 : 137. 1850.

 7533, 7559, 757o, 7575)- Veracruz: Jalapa (7969). 



Variable in the form of the leaves, in the length of the hair point, 

 and in the number of papillae (oftener i, rarely 2 or 3) to each cell 

 and their development.
