quoted, and from a specimen which we received from Mr Dickson ; which 

 specimen perfectly accords with that figure. 



C Afzelii too, is the individual upon which the genus was established 

 by the late excellent Dr Swartz. The stems are almost twice or thrice 

 the length of C. Palisoti ; the leaves are longer and narrower, and towards 

 the extremity constantly serrulate. In those leaves which have the con- 

 ferva-like processes, they are produced in globular heads at the tips of the 

 excurrent nerve ; whereas in C. Palisoti the leaf itself is lengthened out 

 into a spathulate extremity upon the upper surface of which these bodies, 

 are produced. 



5. C. Guildingii, caule elongato, foliis lineari-setaceis, sub- 

 rigidis, siccitate subtortis, marginatis, omnino integerrimis ; 

 seta vix exserta. 



Hab. frequent upon the bark of trees in shady places, on Mount St 

 Andrew, Island of St Vincent, Rev. L. Guilding. 



The stems are from an inch and a half to two inches and a half in 

 length ; the leaves very slender, somewhat rigid, not much crisped when 

 dry, gradually acuminated upwards. Seta scarcely longer than the leaves. 

 Calyptra of a browner colour than usual. Neither in this species, nor in 

 C. lonchophyUum have we observed the conferva-like bodies. 



6. C. lonchophyUum, foliis longissime angustissimeque 

 linearibus, marginatis, apicera versus serratis, siccitate torulo- 

 sis. 



Calymperes lonchophyUum, Schwaegr. Suppl. I. 2. p. 333. t. 98. (In 

 tab. sub. nom. C. Palisoti.) 



Hab. Upon trees in Guiana, Richard. Island of St Vincent, Rev. L. 

 Guild/tiff, and C. Parker, Esq. This has by far the longest leaves of 

 any in the genus. They are tender and pellucid, having a singularly thick- 

 ened margin, serrated only towards the upper extremity. The seta scarce- 

 ly rises above the summits of the leaves. 



Syrrhopodon. 



Gen. Char.— Seta terminalis. Peristomium e clentibus sede- 

 cim horizontalibus, basi membrana unitis, vel sedecim libe- 

 ris, erectis, inclusisre. Calyptra laevis, magna, capsulam 

 involvens, demum lateralitcr fissa, decidua. * 

 1. S. Gardneri, foliis linearibus, obtusis, submarginatis, 



• Imperfect as this character must appear, we fear it would scarcely be improved 

 by altering it to that of Sehwaegrichen. " Peristomium simplex, breve : dentibus 

 sedceim intus adnatis, conniventibus. 



Mores masculi foliigeni, raro asillarcs. Calyptra lo:vis, subcampanulata, latere 

 fissa, quibusdam longa." Schwaegr.
