Campbell's Islands. | CRYPTOGAMIA ANTARCTICA. 27 
Caulis procumbens, uncialis. Rami conferti, fastigiati, subsimplices, graciles, fragiles. Folia subsecunda, sic- 
citate erecta, subappressa, vix pilifera, concava, luride viridia, areolis linearibus. 
Allied to H. extenuatum, Brid., but smaller, the leaves more erect, and tapering gradually to a very narrow 
point. 
Prats LX. Fig. V.—1, a specimen, of the natural size ; 2, portion of branch and leaves; 3, leaf :—magnified. 
9. Hyrxvw chlamydophyllum, Hook. fil. et Wils.; caule prostrato subramoso, ramis simplicibus elon- 
gatis cuspidatis, foliis imbricatis patentibus quadrato-rotundatis integerrimis basi truncatis concavis nervo bre- 
viusculo evanido, seta elongata gracili levi, theca cernua ovato-oblonga, operculo conico. (Tas. LXI. Fig. I.) 
Has. Campbell’s Island; on the ground, barren. 
Caules sesquiunciales, vage ramosi; ramis 1 unc. longis, ad apices e foliis arcte convolutis cuspidatis. Folia 
valde concava, ad apices rotundata, obtusissima, basi latissima, truncata, subauriculata, pallide luteo-viridia, subsca- 
riosa, pellucida, splendentia, nervo simplici infra medium evanido v. nervis duobus brevibus, areolis anguste oblongis 
inferioribus multo majoribus; perichetialia erecta. Seta fere 14 unc. longa, gracilis, levis, torta, rubra. ۵ 
cernua v. horizontalis, ovato-oblonga, brunnea. .Peristomium luteum. Operculum breve, theca concolor. 
Allied to H. cochlearifolium, but with the habit of a Zeskia, and readily distinguished by its cuspidate branches, 
wider and more flaccid leaves which are singularly broad and truncate at the base, where also there are a number 
of large pellucid cells; the seta also is longer and more slender. 
The above description has been drawn up in part from fertile Tasmanian specimens, gathered in that country 
by Mr. Lawrence. There are in the Hookerian Herbarium several allied undescribed species, both from New Zea- 
land and Tasmania. A Fuegian moss, Hypnum ? auriculatum, Mont., (Voy. au Pole Sud, Bot. Cryptog., t. 20. fig. 3), 
is the American representative of this, it differs in having the base of the leaves produced on each side into two 
lobes. 
Puate LXI. Fig. 1.—1, a specimen, of the natural size; 2, 3, and 4, leaves; 5 and 6, thecee :—magnified. 
10. Hypnum cochlearifolium, Schwaeg.; caule subrepente, ramis ascendentibus apice radicantibus, 
foliis imbricatis subrotundis obtusiusculis concavissimis subhemisphericis enerviis, theca cernua ovata, oper- 
culo conico. H. flexile*, Hook. Muse. Exot. t. 110. (excl. syn. Swartzii, Hedwigii, et Schwaegr.) 
Has. Lord Auckland's group and Campbell's Island; at the foot of precipices near the tops of the 
mountains, altitude 1200-1400 feet; barren. 
This moss is a native of the woods of New Zealand, even as far north as lat. 36? S.; hence its occurrence only 
at the tops of mountains in the most bleak and exposed situations of so high a latitude as Campbell’s Island was 
quite unexpected. We cannot distinguish it from more luxuriant northern specimens in its barren state. 
11. Hypnum 4rbuscula, Sw.; caule erecto bipinnatim ramoso, foliis imbricatis erecto-patentibus ovatis 
* The Hypnum flexile, Hedw.,is a very different moss from this, as may be inferred from the following descrip- 
tion drawn up from an authentic specimen :— 
LEsK1A flexilis, Hedw. ; caule pendulo subpinnatim ramoso, foliis ovato-oblongis rigidiusculis apiculatis (apiculo 
recurvo) enerviis, pericheetialibus squarrosis, theca érecta elliptica, operculo subulato, calyptra valde pilosa.—L. flexilis, 
Hedw. Sp. Musc. p. 234. t. 58. Hypnum? Swartz, Prodr. p. 141. Fl. Ind. Occ. p. 1830. 
Has. Jamaica; on the tops of mountains in the southern parts of the island, (Swartz).
