230 #Drxon: NEw Mosses FROM MALAY PENINSULA 
-_flexuose and not appressed, giving a totally different appearance 
under the lens. In S. rufescens, which is perhaps nearer, the 
leaves are rather abruptly bent back from the erect base, both 
moist and dry; the chlorophyllose cells there too reach much 
farther down the leaf, and are highly scabrous and opaque. 
The type specimen is of a bright snuff colour above, and not 
much paler below; the Penang plant however is of a dull green; 
neither plant showing the very pale neat stems in the interior 
of the tufts characteristic of the two allied species, nor is the red 
colour often produced by the radicles in these at all pronounced 
here.

Differs from S. Grifiihii and others of that affinity in the 
extremely narrow, ligulate leaves, highly rigid, not at all crisped 
when dry, as well as in other characters. From S. fristichus 
and its allies it differs entirely in the small size, red colour, entire 
margin, &c.

Very near to S. spiculosus, but differs in ie longer leaves, 
apparently in the colour, in the more strongly toothed border of 
the shoulder, and especially in the quite borderless lamina. In
