NECKERACEAE. 



Pterobryopsis Walked.— (Broth) Broth. 



Castle Rock, (5521.) On exposed rock, Guddahalli Hill, Karwar 

 (6387). The latter a form with the leaves longly cuspidate. Both 

 sterile. Among some plants from Mahableshwar, one, No. 4716, was 

 in fruit. Brotherus describes the perichaetial bracts as " integerrimae." 

 They are abruptly contracted from a broad, sheathing base to a long, 

 rigid, loriform subula ; this is entire, but the shoulder of the basal part 

 is often coarse and irregularly toothed, though not always so. I find 

 the same to be the case with the Mysore plant, leg. Bretandean, det. 

 Brotherus (Herb.Levier No. 44). 



Pterobryopsis Maxwelli.— Cord. & Dixon. 



Rocks in stream, Sampkhand (6433, 6434) ; trees on exposed hill 

 summit, Guddahalli, Karwar (6388) ; twigs in very wet evergreen, Gair- 

 soppa Falls (6466) c. fr.; trees, Caste Rock (5516, 5518, 5519) c. fr; 

 trees, Anmod, (3310, 3311, 5376). 



Barbella rufifolia.— (Thw. & Mitt.) Broth. 



Hanging from trees, Siddhapur (6488). A bright green form with 

 scarcely any of the reddish colour of the normal form ; but I find no 

 structural difference. 



Neckeropsis andamana.— (C. M.) Fleisch. 



On sapling, Siddhapur (6484). 



Pinnatella calcuttensis (C. M.) Fleisch. 



Numerous gatherings of this were made, mostly sterile, but here 

 and there fruiting. 



Pinnatella limbata. — Dixon sp. nov. (§Urocladium). (fig. 8) 



Rupicola ; perrobusta ; caulis primarius repens, nudus, rigidus, 

 caulis secundarius elongatus, ad 4-5 cm. longus, irregulariter, saepe 

 dense pinnatim ramosus, ramis crassis, nee compressis, flexuosis, densi- 

 foliis, obtusis ; folia patentia concava, sicca et plicata et irregulariter 

 rugulosa, haud crispato-incurva 2. 5-3mm. longa, basi late ovata, 

 nee deltoidea (l. 5 mm. lata) late oblongo-lingulata, apice late acutato, 

 irregulariter denticulato ; costa sat valida, longe infra apicem soluta, 

 Cellulae superiores parvae, rhomboideae, latitudine variabili, saepe 

 sigmatoideae, parietibus firmis ; laevibus ; marginem versus saepius 

 seriebus nonnullis Iongiores, lineares, marginales ipsae seriebus circa 

 duabus bistratosae, breviores rhomboideae, chlorophyllosae, limbum 

 angnstum, incrassatum e basi ad apicem instruentes. Cellulae basi- 

 lares sensim Iongiores, linearea, flexuosae, ad angulos paucae latiores, 

 subrotundae. parietibus incrassatis, sinuosis. Cetera ignota. 



Hab. Rocks in stream, Sampkhand (6437).
