. This species has in Europe frequently been confounded with 4. rupestris, and we cannot assent to the remark 
. in the * Muscologia Britannica,’ that Dr. Mohr was the first to distinguish it accurately; since neither the description 
of Weber and Mohr (Bot. Tasch. p. 383), nor their citation of Dillenius (Hist. Muse. t. 73. f. 40), as a synonym for 
` A. rupestris instead of A. Rothii, tends to prove that these authors understood the species. The illustrative figures 
ations show that 4. alpina of Weber and Mohr (Bot. Tasch. t. 11. f. 3, 5), is only a state of A. rupestris, 
This is confirmed by the fact that 4. alpina of Mougeot and Nestler

(Stirp. Orypt. Voges. no. 115), is that very form of 4. rupestris to which we allude.
