Our specimens are not sufficiently ripe to determine whether 
this Moss really belongs to the present genus. If rightly referred 
hither, it differs from P. flecuosum, Schwaegr., its nearest ally,

capsule, and small reddish calyptra. The capsule, in a very 
— State, is ovate-acuminate, with a remarkably broad, abrupt 
» resembling an apophysis,
