New Species of Mosses from the Malay Peninsula 
H. N. Dixon 
For some years I have been accumulating in my herbarium 
undescribed species from the East Indies, a number of them from 
Mitten’s herbarium in The New York Botanical Garden. A 
large proportion of these were collected by Mr. H. N. Ridley and 
sent to Mitten for naming, but unfortunately remained un- 
determined at Mitten’s death. 
I have also received a considerable number of specimens of 
the same collector, some from Mr. Ridley himself, some from 
the Kew Herbarium, and others from the Singapore Botanical 
Gardens. .The present paper deals with such of these as come 
from the Malay Peninsula. 
The order ard nomenclature followed are for the most part 
those of Brotherus in Engler & Prantl, Pflanzenfamilien.
