This very remarkable species much resembles Encamp- 

 todon inflatus (Hook. fil. Wils.) Mitt., -- judging from the 

 illustration in Flora Novae Zelandiae — but is distinguished 

 trom the former by its nerved leaves. 1 bave classified it, 

 though indeed with much hesitation, among the genus Di- 

 cranum, because its very young fruit is somewhat curved, 

 and the perichsetial leaves are much shorter than is the 

 case with the species of the genus Eucamptodon.
