SplacJinobryu 



by C. Mueller in 1869, has been the subject of much difference of 

 opinion. Dr. V. F. Brotherus (in Engl. & Prantl, Nat. Pflanzenf. 

 i. ni. 420) places it in Pottiaceae and enumerates 23 species ; since 

 then three others have been described in addition to the present 

 one. Most of these are tropical or sub-tropical, but two have 

 been found under circumstances similar to those of S. delicatnlum. 

 One of these, S. Wrightii, C. Muell., a West Indian species, was 

 found on the top of a wall in a forcing-pit at the Royal Botanic 

 Gardens, Glasnevin, and an account of it was published by Dr. 

 R. Braithwaite in the Journal of Botany, 1872, p. VX\. The other, 

 S. Corlrieri, Ren. et Card. (Bull. Soc. Roy. Bot. Belg. xli. p. 61, 

 1905), was described from plants growing on a rotten stump in 

 the hot-houses at Pare Liais, Cherbourg.
