In the year 1816 I dedicated this new genus of mosses to my 
the application of warmth to a specimen already saturated with 
moisture, They are admirably described by Schwaegrichen, when 
says, ‘ Dentes madore contorti, et theee margine appressi, 
siccitate diffusi, halitu observantis tacti singuli spiraliter sed laxe ~ 
se contorquentes et rursus evolventes, semina dispergentes, con- 
tinuo tremuli et mobiles, simili qaodam motu ut fila Equiseti ~ 
germen cingentia.”
