226 Drs Hooker and Greville on the Genus Calympcrcs, fyc. 



for their broad semi-pellucid and wavtd margin. The capstde is cylin- 

 drical, the calyptra long, obscurely striated, enveloping the whole of the 

 capsule, and even the upper part of its seta with its base. The teeth are 

 long linear-subulate, erect, red, distinctly jointed like those of many spe- 

 cies of Weissia.

Of this fine moss we have seen no perfect peristome, but, on account of 

 the smooth calyptra, we have ranked it with the present genus. The 

 stems are from one to two inches long, branched. The leaves long, slen- 

 der, peculiarly rigid and straight when dry ; many of them attenuated 

 upwards, but spreading again somewhat at the extreme point, and these 

 producing conferva-like bodies. The base of the leaves, which is white in 

 most species, is here of a red colour. We have received it from no country 

 but St Vincents.

We have followed Professor Schwaegrichen, in including this plant in 

 the genus Syrrhopodon. It possesses we think, sufficiently of the habit 

 and most evidently the pellucid base of the leaves belonging to the genus. 

 The teeth have, however, a line down the middle, which we cannot find 

 to exist in any other species ; and we must add, that an old fallen calyptra, 

 represented in Musci Exotici, (Fig. 7,) had the appearance of being truly 

 dimidiate, although before the falling of the calyptra it entirely envelopes 

 the capsule, and embraces the upper part of the fruit-stalk with its base. 



10. S. spiculosus, foliis anguste linearibus, dorso margini- 

 busque incrassatis spiculoso-denticulatis, siccitate vix crispa- 

 tulis. 



Hab. Sincnpore, Dr Wallich. 



We only possess this without fructification, but, in habit and in the tex- 

 ture of its leaves, it quite accords with the other species of the genus, from 

 all of which it differs in the numerous pellucid denticulated or spiculated 

 unequal processes, which are found not only upon the margin of the leaf,
