the growth of innovations, but the fertile flower is at first truly terminal. Capsules on a short pedicel of their 

 own length, much overtopped by the leaves, often two together.— The nearly allied B. pomiformis has longer pedi- 

 cels, and leaves less dilated and scarcely sheathing at the base.

 Ruahine mountains, Colenso. 



About one inch in height, the typical specimens scarcely distinguishable except by the inflorescence from B. 

 ithyphylla. The leaves, however, are more spreading and distinctly papillose at the back. The var. y much re- 

 sembles B.longifolia, Hook. Muse. Exot. t. 68, but it is only half the size, and the leaves are less evidently serru- 

 late, shorter, and yellowish-green, inclining to glaucous.— Plate LXXXVI. Pig. 4 : — 1, plants, natural size ; 2.

Hab. Northern Island : Bay of Islands, Falls of Waitangi, /. I). II. Wairarapa valley, Colenso. 

 Leaves glaucous, papillose. Male flower discoid, large, red ; perigonial leaves spreading, much larger and lono-er 

 than the stem-leaves, lanceolate, acute, nerved, serrulate. — In colour like B. glauca, Hook, et Arnott, but leaves wider 

 shorter, more entire, margin plane. B. laxissima, C. Muller, has narrower leaves, nerve vanishing near the apex, and 

 lax reticulation. B. eyenea, Mont., and B. ambigua, Mont., both from Chili, are very different according to their de- 

 scriptions.— Plate LXXXVI. Pig. 5 :— 1, plant, natural size; 2, 3, leaves, both magnified. 



4. Bartramia marchiea, Brid. ; dioica, dense cajspitosa, foliis undique patentibus vel snbsecundis 

 ovato-lanceolatis acuminatis carinatis margine planis serrulatis excurrentinerviis liaud plicatis, perigonialibus 

 lanceolatis acutis solidinerviis, capsula subsphserica cernua. — Bridel, Mant. Muse. Schwcegr. Suppl. t. 239. 

 Philonotis marchiea, Bridel, Bryol. Univ. v. 2. p. 23. 



Hab. Northern Island, Colenso. (A native of England.) 



A European Moss. — Stems two inches high.— It differs from small states of B.fontana by the plane margined 

 leaves and by the acute nerved perigonial leaves, and from B. calcarea by the narrower nerve and less robust habit. 

 It is doubtful whether the East Indian B.falcata, Hook. (Muse. Exot.) be more than a variety of this; but the 

 leaves are compresso-carinate, so as not to flatten without rupture, and the reticulation is smaller. B. Turneri, 

 Sehwfegr., may be a state of B.falcata, with more acute leaves. 



5. Bartramia uncinata, Schwajgr. ; dioica, caule breviusculo fasciculate tomentoso, foliis confertis sub- 

 falcatis ovato-lanceolatis acuminatis excurrentinerviis serrulatis margine reflexis, capsula cernua. — Schwcegr. 

 Suppl. pt. 1. v. 2. p. 60. t. 57, sub nomine B. scabrida. 



Hab. Northern and Middle Island : Port Cooper, Lyall, Oldfield. 



Smaller than the preceding. Leaves more crowded, more secund, more produced and setaceous at the apex 

 the margin recurved. Seta about an inch long. Branches short, often curved or uncinate. — A native of Guada- 

 loupe, Martinique, North and South America. 



6. Bartramia radicalis, P. Beauv. ; dioica, foliis dissitis lanceolatis acuminatis excurrentinerviis serru- 

 latis margine reflexis, capsula cernua. — P. Beauv. Prodr. JEtheog.p. 44. Schwcegr. Suppl. t. 61.
