This borders very closely upon Gymnostomu gracile (Lepto- 
stomum Br.) already figured in this work. It is however a much 
whole length are covered with thick, deep-brown, ferruginous 
downy radicles, having at their summit a short thick tuft of leaves, 
and exhibiting in various parts of their length the terminal tufts 
of former years ; so that the plant increases in length by its an- 
notinous shoots, like many of the Bartramie. The fruitstalk 
too is shorter than in G. gracile, the capsule larger and more 
ovate, and the leaves are more obtuse, with shorter hairs, 
e membrane which constitutes Mr. Brown’s eharacter of 
Leptostomum. is here rather erect than horizontal, and the edge 
jagged; there is too a faint appearance of longitudinal lines. 
like the cohesion of short obtuse and irregularly-formed teeth ; 
but as I had only one specimen to examine, I cannot speak with 
that certainty of its structure that I could wish,
