46 ADDITIONS TO THE BRYOPHYTE FLORA, 



Mt. Hartz, Adamson Peak, St. Patrick's Head, Cradle 

 Mt., etc. 



Sijhenolubus nigras, n.s. — Small densely clustered in 

 blackish cushions, the shoots simple or with few branches 

 about 1 cm. long. Leaves obcuneate from a narrow base, 

 spreading, bifid to the middle, lobes broad, apex rather 

 acute, 1 m.m. long; cells 14 m., with very thick walls, 

 cuticle smooth. Bracts similar to the leaves, only larger, 

 connate with an oblong bracteole. Perianth broadly cylin- 

 dric, deeply 5-grooved, 2 m.m. long, mouth closely con- 

 tracted, with a few short fimbrise. 



On rocks in rivulet, Cradle Mt. 



Anastrophyllum tasmanicum, n.s. — Robust pale olive 

 green, branching 3-4 cm. Leaves not strongly secund, 

 almost squarrose, nearly symmetric, to | bilobed, lobes 

 nearly equal, broad usually with a very acute apex margin 

 just above the ventral base, armed with a few acute teeth, 

 1.4 m.m. long; cells 20 ju., cuticle coarsely verrucose. 

 Perianth narrow, ovate, 3 m.m., with about 8 deep plaits. 



Very like Chandonanthus squarrosus, but the complete 

 absence of under leaves and paraphylls distinguishes it. 



Adamson Peak, Mt. Hartz. 



LophocoJea paKcistijmla, n.s — Robust. Simple or with 

 few vague branches 2-4 cm. Leaves crowded, imbricate 

 rotund, 1.3 m.m., margin entire, dorsal base subdecurrent, 

 ventral ampliate ; marginal cells 20 ^ , trigones small, 

 intermediate cells 35 /u., basals 60 x 25/"., trigones none; 

 under-leaves absent, except in the reproduction region, 

 sometimes only a narrow dentate bracteole present; at 

 others 2-3 large oblong under-leaves, with recurved mar- 

 gins, very like those of L. austrigena, and below these 2-3 

 reduced to vanishing spines. Bracts oblong, twice as long 

 as the leaves, often with a filiform process near the ventral 

 base, bracteole narrow oblong, shortly bidentate, margin 

 often dentate; perianth narrow campanulate ^ exserted, 

 trigonous, median keel dorsal, mouth broad, with 3 broad 

 unarmed lobes. 



Bank of creek near Cradle Mt. 



Lemhidiinn anomalum, n.s. — Stems pinnately branched, 

 ascending from a creeping stoloniferous base, dark livid 

 green. Leaves imbricate to distant incubous to sub- 

 transverse rotund, very concave, erect, 0.9 m.m., apex and 

 margin entire; cells unequal, mostly 18/*., sometimes a 

 band of larger colourless cells on the margin, walls rather 

 thick, trigones small, cuticle smooth; under-leaves similar 

 in size and shape to the leaves. Bracts oblong, not much
