Leptoscyphus, Mitt. 



Simpie or sparingly branched; decumbent with 

 numerous rhizoids on the ventral surface. Leaves succub- 

 ous, entire, rotund, rarely bilobed or ovate. XJnderleaves 

 present, entire or bihld, margins sometimes armed. Peri- 

 anth terminal, often appearing lateral from the growth of 

 subfloral branches, inflated below, laterally compressed 

 above the mouth truncate and bilabiate, entire or denticu- 

 late. 



Mitten subsequently changed the name to Leioscij pints. 

 This is still maintained by Stephani. 



Leptoscyphu.s chilosci/phoides [Lindh.). — Stems usually 

 2-3 cm. long. Leaves rotund or quadrate-rotund, erect, 

 opposite, 2 mm., base not constricted; cells about 36 ^., 

 walls medium, trigones small concave or none; underleaves 

 small, connate on both sides, deeply bifid lobes acute, mar- 

 gins unidentate. Bracts similar to the leaves but larger; 

 perianth 3-4 mm., immersed in the leaves, very flat above 

 with two broad entire lips. 



Very like Lopkocolea norae-''-chnidiae, but the larger 

 cells and very different perianth distinguish it.

Odontoschisma, Dum. 



Robust, simple or with few branches, deciunbent to

 Underleaves oblong and well developed to obsolete. Peri- 

 anth terminal, short and broad, obscurely 3-angled ; bracts 

 bi-trifid. 



Very near J amemnidla, but the bracts not fimbriate, 

 the mouth not as contracted nor plicate, and underleaves 

 present. 



Odinifosfdiisnia marg'inata (Mift.), St. — Stems slender, 

 elongating often to 10 cm., dark green. Leaves rotund

 shortly bifid apex. Bracts little enlarged, entire ; perianth 

 broadly campanulate, shorter to longer than the leaves, 

 one dorsal and two ventral shallow keels, mouth broad, 

 erose,
