This moss resembles Æ. aduncum in everything but the scabrous seta, and the serrulate leaves; the var. 8 again 
approaches very nearly to some varieties of H. velutinum. ^4 E AM rar!

Apparently the moss mentioned by Gaudichaud under the name of H. aduncum, to which indeed it is nearly 
allied. “It differs from H. fluitans, in its very strong, often percurrent nerve. The leaves vary in length.

Has. Hermite Island, Cape Horn; with E. amenum (barren). 
In the Hookerian Herbarium we find a Brazilian specimen, apparently authentic, of H. lithophilum, labelled 
* supra lapides rivulorum in novo Friburgo ”, but consisting of two different species mixed together; and as the 
description in Fl. Bras. appears to have been drawn up from both, we append a diagnosis of the other species.*
