Hiii.i.A. — A csaspitose moss of Mnioid habit, with proliferous stems; 
rather rare on the base of old trunks in damp woods by the Monino 
brook, but only in the more elevated rocky stations, and nev 
in fruit by Welwitsch ; April and .May I860. No. 4. 
The leaves an- 1 mm. long, with margins rev, .lute from base almost 
to apex; the primordial utricle of the cells is contracted and densely 
chlorophyllose ; the marginal cells arc loiiL r . tbiek-walled, yellow, but 
do not form a thickened limb.
