Dixon: NEw MosskEs FROM MALAY PENINSULA 231. 
S. spiculosus the hyaline border varies very greatly, and may be 
almost or quite obsolete here and there in a leaf; but it is always - 
to some extent at least present. The basal part of the leaf here 
is perhaps narrower than in that species.

This plant belongs to a small Section of Syrrhopodon sepa- 
rated recently by Fleischer as § Calymperophyllum; the resemb- 
lance to certain species of Calymperes, notably of the § Calym- 
peridium, renders the determination very perplexing. In these 
species, however, the thickening of the margin is usually intra- 
marginal, so that the actual margin forms a sort of wing to the 
thickened border, while in the present species the margin itself 
is thickened; the cells however being of just the same character 
as those of the rest of the lamina, not being elongated nor in- 
crassate. The lamina cells are larger (8-10 w) and much more 
pellucid and distinct than in S. Trewbiz, and the leaves, especially 
the upper, ‘“‘abnormal’’ ones much more shortly and broadly 
pointed. The sheath is narrow, very short, as in S. Treubti, 
about 1/5—1/4 the length of the leaf, and quite entire at margin, 
or only obtusely and sinuosely notched; the cancellina is only 
about half the length of the sheath, and the cells pass abruptly 
into the lamina cells. This is at variance with the character of 
the Section as defined by Fleischer, but the relationship of the 
species with S. Treubii is otherwise so close that I do not think 
it can be separated on that account. The cancellina cells decrease 
in width gradually from the nerve to the broad, narrow- -celled 
border of the leaf-base.
