THE WEST VIRGINIA FLORA 



flated basal auricles ; differing also in the cells above the 

 base, teeth not split to base, occasionally only perforate. 

 From D. Virginlcus it may be distinguished by the less 

 caducous leaves, shorter, stouter, more arcuate pedicels, 

 smaller capsules, and longer sheathing perichsetium. 



Through the kindness of Dr. Robinson I have been able 

 to compare these specimens with those collected by Sul- 

 livant on Grandfather Mt. in 1843. His also are fruiting, 

 and an excellent drawing is preserved, hence I am able to 

 assert that the specimens are almost identical. Sullivant's 

 showing no naked stems, but many of the leaves are cadu- 

 cous. Dr. Braithwaite kindly compared the West Virginia 

 specimens with Cainpylopus pyriformis, sending me speci- 

 mens of this and the variety Mulleri, and sketches of the 

 bases of the leaves. It is evident that Sullivant was mis- 

 taken in referring his specimens to C. ftexuosus, as they are 

 more closely allied to Dicranodontium longirostre, var. al- 

 pinus.
