116 CRYPTOGAMIA ANTARCTICA, ] Fuegia, the 
Has. Falkland Islands; on shady clay-banks near the sea, at Port Louis (barren). Hermite Island ; 
common on mossy banks and on the trunks of old trees in the woods of evergreen beech, abundant in fruit. 
Very closely allied to Hookeria pulchella, nobis (part 1. p. 142. t. Ixii); but the leaves are more erect, less 
crowded, acuminated, with larger reticulations, thece larger and decidedly cernuous. The calyptra in both these 
species is fringed at the base. 
3. Hooxeria flaccida, Hook. fil. et Wils.; caule debili elongato erecto subramoso, foliis imbricatis 
erecto-patentibus ellipticis concavis obtusis subapiculatis integerrimis anguste marginatis evanidinerviis, seta 
elongata levi, theca erecta obovato-oblonga, operculo rostrato, calyptra basi fimbriata. (Tas. CLV. fig. V.) 
Haz. Hermite Island ; in wet bogs on the hills, amongst other mosses and grass, very rare in fruit,

Caules unciales ad triunciales, graciles, debiles, parce subpinnatim ramosi, rufo-fusci, ramis compressiusculis. 
Folia laxe imbricata, erecto-patentia, flaccida, elliptico-oblonga, concava, obtusa, brevissime apiculata, inferiora sub- 
obovata, omnia integerrima, margine tenui cartilagineo nervoque tenuissimo sub apice evanido instructa, sordide ac 
pallide viridia, siccitate crispata, areolis parvulis rotundatis; pericheetialia triplo minora, ovata, enervia. Seta 
uncialis, vix tortilis, rubra. Zheca erecta, obovato-oblonga, brunnea, subapophysata, ore subpatulo. Peristomi 
externi dentes lutei, incurvi, trabeculati, linea media notati, interni processus albidi. Spore minime, luteo-virides. 
Operculum conico-acuminatum, theca paulo brevius. Calyptra elongato-conica, acuminata, basi fimbriata, fusca, 
capsule dimidiam partem obtegens. 
A remarkably soft and delicate species, bearing much the same analogy to its congeners that Hypnum strami- 
neum does to other Hypna.

4. Hookzrıa Magellanica, P. Beauv. ; caule ramoso erecto, foliis ovato-oblongis acuminatis marginatis 
evanidinerviis, calyptra basi fimbriata. 
Hyenum Magellanicum, P. Beauv. Atheog. p. 66. 
Has. Strait of Magalhaens. 
An authentic specimen in Professor Arnott's Herbarium is closely allied to Hookeria flaccida, nobis. It differs 
in having narrower acuminated leaves, which do not fully recover their shape after long immersion in water. 
c. Foliis emarginatis. 
5. Hooxeria denticulata, nobis; vid. Pt. I. Z. c. 145. tab. lxii. f. 2. 
Has. Falkland Islands; in tufts of Riccia and Jungermannia, on rocks near the sea, frequent (barren). 
Hermite Island, Cape Horn; on the wet ground in woods, not uncommon (also barren).

Haz. Hermite Island, Cape Horn. 
A solitary barren stem of this occurs in the collection of Hermite Island plants. 
31. HYPOPTERYGIUM, Bridel. 
Our reasons for not having previously admitted this genus will be found in the former portion of this work. 
We have seen since, that the male flowers are occasionally, though rarely, inserted beneath the accessory leaves, and
