GoLUNGO Alto. — A rather rigid, deep green, viviparo-ramulose

GoLUN(;o Alto. — A very fine moss, pendulous on branches of 

 various trees, of many colours, now deep green, now golden-flavescent, 

 now almost like bright copper ; never found in fruit by Welwitsch ; 

 in dense primitive woods, where Coffea urabica is frequent, at an 

 elevation of 2400 ft., on the mountains of Cungulungulo ; Feb. 1855. 

 No. 145, also No. 211, in part. 



Cazengo. — Longly pendent from branches of trees, propagating 

 itself abundantly, but not found in fruit, though diligently sought, by 

 Welwitsch ; in shady moist elevated places on the mountain of 

 Muxaulo ; June 1855. No. 145. 



Both of our tickets are placed under the same number, and the 

 .■specimens are mixed. These latter belong to the section OrthosticheUa, 

 and in habit rather resemble P. ririditi Jaeg. Gen. et Spec. II., p. 162, 

 but the ramuline leaves are spathulate from a contracted base, obsoletely 

 binervate, more longly acuminate, with upper margins involute and 

 serrulate. The leaves are pentastichously arranged ; and those of the 

 primary branches are nearly twice as long as the ramuline, and bear an 

 elongated subulate flexuose acumen about O'G mm. in length.

GoLUNGO Alto. — Almost always mixed with other mosses, FrulJania, 

 etc., on trees and more rarely on rocks close by ; frequent upon trunks 

 of Coffea arahica in the Coffea forests at an elevation of 2800 to 3000 ft. 

 on the mountains of Cungulungulo ; without fr. Feb. 1855. No. 161. 



Our specimens belong to the section FlorihuncJaria and resemble 

 Pa2nllaria floribunda C. Muell (in Linnaea XL. (1876) p. 267) in habit, 

 but the leaves are ?quarroso-recurved, ovate acuminate from a cordate 

 base, upper margins more markedly serrate. The cells are seriately 

 3- to 4-papillate.
