88 FLORA OF NEW ZEALAND. [Musci. 



Found also at Cape Horn and all Antarctic Islands.— Leaves more appressed than in C. boreale, longer and 

 more or less piliferous, and essentially different in the inflorescence. 



2. Oonostomum pusilhm, Hook. fil. et Wils.; monoicum, caule humili laxius csespitoso, foliis sub- 

 erectis laxe imbricatis lanceolatis acuminatis piliferis inargine renexis duplici serie serratis laxe reticulata 

 nervo angustiore, capsula suberecta. (Tab. LXXXVI. Kg. 2.) 



Hab. Northern Island : top of the Euahine Mountains, Colenso. 



A very distinct species, quite different in aspect from the preceding. — Seldom more than 1 inch in height, often 

 much smaller. Stems about 2 lines long. Leaves less crowded, not appressed when dry, but lax, with wavy hair- 

 points, yellowish-green, lower leaves brown, mixed with dark red radicles, reticulation larger and more pellucid. 

 Seta pale reddish, glossy, half an inch long or more. Capsule pale, furrowed when dry. Operculum less than half 

 its length, conical, with inclined beak. Teeth slender, red. Calyptra brown, covering the operculum only. Male 

 and female flowers contiguous, whereas in C. australe the male flower terminates a branch.— Plate LXXXVI.

Gen. XXXIII. CBYPTOPODIUM, Bridel. 



Peristomium duplex; exterius, dentes 16, lanceolato-acuminati, renexi; interius, membrana in pro- 

 cessus 16 imperforates ciliis interjectis fissa. Capsula ovalis, macrostoma, brevipes, lasvis, exannulata, 

 erecta.— Habitus, folia, etc. Bartramise. 



1. Cryptopodium bartramioides, Menz. ; dioicum, caule elongato rigido subramoso, foliis erecto- 

 patentibus subsecundis lineari-subulatis solidinerviis rigidis duplici serie spinuloso-serratis, capsulis immersis 

 aggregate, operculo convexo apiculato. — Bridel, Bryol. Univ. v. 2. p. 31. Bryum bartramioides, Hook.

Hab. Northern and Middle Islands : Euahine Mountains, Colenso. Bligh's, Thomson's, and Mil- 

 ford Sounds, Lyall. 



Stems 2-6 inches long, curved. Leaves long, crowded, rigid, tapering gradually from a wide base. Inflores- 

 cence certainly dioicous (Bridel states the contrary). Capsules often three together, not contracted at the mouth. 

 Pedicel shorter than the capsule. Operculum nearly half as long, shaped as in Bryum, and not, as usual in Bartra- 

 mice, covering a large peristome. Inner peristome furnished with intermediate cilia, but they seem to be irregular 

 and not unfrequently absent. 



Gen. XXXIV. BAETEAMIA, lledwig. 



Peristomium duplex; exterius, dentes 16, ut in Bryo, siccitate incurvi; interius, membrana 16-pli- 

 cata, usque supra medium in processus 16 cum dentibus alternantes fissa, demum per totam longitudi- 

 nem in crura duo divergentia fissa, ciliis parvulis interjectis vel nullis. Capsula subspluerica, erecta vel 

 cernua, raro pendula, siccitate sulcata, plerumque microstoma, exannulata. Operculum plano-conicum, 

 breve. Calyptra parva, subulata, latere fissa. — Polia angusia, rigida, serrata, costata, quadrate areolata, pa- 

 pulosa. GwXesfasciculato-ramosi, radiculoso-tomentosi. 



§ 1. Bautkamia, Bridel. — Vage ramosa. 



1. Bartramia Halleriana, Hedw. ; menoica, procera, vage ramosa, ramis subfastigiatis, foliis patentibus 

 vel secundis e basi lata subvaginante lineari-subulatis serrulatis, capsula subglobosa brevipedicellata im- 

 mersa, operculo conico. — Hedw. Stirp. Muse. v. 2. t. 40. Bruch et Schimp. Bryol. Europ.
