rostrato. (Tas. CLIL.fig. I.) : 
Has. Hermite Island, Cape Horn ; moist rocks on the northern slope of Mount Foster, alt. 600 feet. 
Caules 1-2-unciales, dense ceespitosi, gracilescentes, fastigiato-ramosi. Folia dense imbricata, patentia, ovato- 
lanceolata vel ovato-acuminata, inferiora subsquarrosa, superiora recurva, acutiuscula, carinata, margine subrecurva, 
nervo rubello, siccitate appresso-incurva, plus minusve spiraliter contorta, lurido-viridia. Perichetialia latiora, 
elliptico-oblonga, obtusa. Seta brevis, 13 lin. longa, recta, siccitate tortilis. Zheca erecta, elliptico-oblonga, sub-

siccitate patentes. Opereulum rostro aciculari, theca paulo brevius. Calyptra non visa. 
A more robust species than D. crispulus (nobis), with the leaves shorter, not piliferous, and the thecee larger.

Haz. Kerguelen's Land, in gravelly beds of rivulets. 
Also a native of Campbell's Island, but not seen at Cape Horn or the Falkland Islands.

Has. Hermite Island, Cape Horn; all the varieties. Falkland Islands; var. 2 (barren) and var. 3. 
Kerguelen’s Land, also barren). 
The last variety much resembles R. aciculare, Dill., but has acute leaves and the teeth of the peristome are 
longer and more slender. It is perhaps still more nearly allied to Trichostomum subsecundum, Hook. and Grev., 
(Hook. Ic. Pl. t. 17. f. 5), chiefly differing in its more robust habit and shorter sete».

Var. 3, caule gracili subsimplici, foliis acutiusculis siccitate subappressis, seta breviore, calyptra pallida. 
Has. Hermite Island, Cape Horn; all the varieties. 
The last variety has some resemblance to R. heterostichum, var. y. gracilescens, (Bruch and Schimper), but differs 
in having the leaves more acute and the teeth of the peristome larger and more regularly formed.
