226 Drxon: NEw MosseEs FROM MALAY PENINSULA 
Distinct from all the species in the long seta, and from all 
but B. luzonensis Broth. and B. enervis (Doz. & Molk.) in the 
nerveless leaves. The former differs in the small size, piliform 
leaves and short seta; B. enervis varies considerably in the form 
of the leaf-point; the leaf figured by Fleischer in the Musci 
der Flora von Buitenzorg, 1: 95 being much more finely 
acuminate than as shown in the Musci Frond. Ined. Arch. Ind., 
Tab. III; the present plant has them still more finely and longly 
acuminate, while the seta is more than twice as long as usual in 
that species, though it may at times approach it in length. 
Dicranoloma perintegrum Dixon sp. nov. 
D. Billardiert (Schwaegr.) affine; differt tae siccis inferne 
plicatis, superne integerrimis. Fructus ignot 
HAB. Mt. Ophir, Malacca, Dec. 1898; Ridley (780). 
In the absence of perichaetia and fruit it must not be too 
hastily assumed that this is a very close ally of D. Billardieri, but 
in the vegetative characters it could only be separated by those 
underlined above. The leaves are falcate-secund, the stems 
6 cm. or more high. D. braunfelsioides Herzog from Ceram 
is near it, but has leaves and back of nerve somewhat toothed 
above, a narrow hyaline border to the leaf-base, absent here, 
and the leaves not falcate. 
All the other Indo-Malay species differ in the leaves being 
toothed, apart from other characters. 
Dicranoloma brevicapsulare Dixon sp. nov. (PLATE 3, FIG 2) 
Stirps procerus, habitu D. Braunii vel formarum validarum 
D. Blumii; caules 10 cm. alti vel supra; folia valde patentia, 
sicca flexuosa, haud falcata, apicalia solum leniter apicanenecunda, 
Folia D. assimilis fere, sed cellulis 
atque limbo hyalino perangusto, saepe _obebleta: Setae singtic 
lares nec aggregatae 2.5 cm. longae, eis D. assimilis crassiores; 
theca multo brevior latiorque, deoperculata vix 3 mm. longa, tur- 
gide subcylindrica vel ab ore ad infra sensim angustata, leniter 
curvata, subhorizontalis, basi estrumosa; peristomium magnum, 
intense rubrum.
