106 CRYPTOGAMIA ANTARCTICA. [.Fuegia, the 
HEINE. 
20. BARTRAMIA, Hedw. 
1. Barrrama patens, Schwaegr., Suppl. Y. vol.i. p. 55. 1.62. Fl. Antarct. pt. 1. p. 133. 
Var. 8. intermedia ; caule minore. 
Has. Hermite Island, common in the woods, from the sea to the tops of the hills, in crevices of rocks, 
growing in dense soft tufts. Falkland Islands, common on wet clay-slate rocks near the sea, not found on 
the hills, abundant in fruit. Var. 8. on clayey ground and rocks near the sea. 
The variety B. differs only in its smaller size and in ihe general aspect, which resembles that of the British 
B. ithyphylla. 
2. BAwrRAMIA pendula, Hook.; Muse. Exot. t. 91. Fl. Antarct. pt. 1. p. 133. 
Var. 1. foliis e basi erecta patulo-squarrosis, margine evidentius recurvis parcius denticulatis. 
Var. 2. caule longiore robustiore vix tomentoso, foliis latioribus subsecundis. 
Has. Hermite Island, in rocky places near the tops of the hills, scarce, abundant in fruit near the spray 
of a waterfall on the south side of St. Martin’s Cove, forming large patches. Var. 2, always barren. 
In some respects our moss resembles B. tomentosa, Hook. (Muse. Exot. t. 19), which we scarcely consider to 
be a distinct species, but the capsule is oblong and pendulous. 
The var. 2 may be distinct. It resembles Hypnum elongatum, nobis. We have seen only the male inflores- 
cence, which is truly that of Bartramia. 
3. Bartramia pomiformis, Hedw.; var. crispa. B. crispa, Swartz. Mont. in Voy. au Pole Sud, Bot. 
Crypt. p. 307. 
Has. Strait of Magalhaens; Admiral D’Urville et M. Jacquinot. 
21. BRACHYMENIUM, Hook. 
1. BRACHYMENIUM ? ovatum, Hook. fil. et Wils.; caule humili, foliis laxe imbricatis erecto-patentibus 
quinquefariis ovato-oblongis nervo valido apiculatis. (Tas. 0111. fig. IV.) 
Has. Falkland Islands, amongst dry quartz rocks on the hills, (barren). 
Caules ceespitosi, inferne dense radiculosi, spongiosi, 1-2-unciales, parce ramosi. Folia erecto-patentia, 5-faria, 
ovato-oblonga, planiuscula, integerrima, luteo-viridia, siccitate subincurva, nervo valido excurrente apiculata, areolis 
minimis, rotundis. In axillis foliorum fasciculi corporum fuscorum confervee instar evadunt. 
This moss resembles Tetraphis pellucida, but differs in the excurrent nerve and in the disposition and texture of 
the leaves. 
Prate CLIL. Fig. IV.—1, tuft of the natural size; 2 and 3, leaves :— magnified. 
22. ORTHODONTIUM, Schwaegr. 
1. ORTHODONTIUM australe, Hook. fil. et Wils.; caule ramoso fastigiato humili, foliis erecto-patentibus 
subrecurvis anguste linearibus subflexuosis, nervo subcontinuo, theca suberecta oblonga brevicolla, operculo 
brevirostro. (Tas. CLIII. fig. V.)
