GOLUNGO Alto. — A rather rigid, deep green, viviparo-ramulose 
moss of caespitose growth, completely enveloping virgate branches of 
trees near the margins of very elevated primitive woods. On Coffea 
and Diospyraceous trees in the woods of Cungulungulo, at an elevation 
of 2400 ft. ; with fr. Feb. 1855. No. 128 ; also No. 211, in part.

Golungo Alto. — A very fine moss, pendulous on branches of 
various trees, of many colours, now deep green, now golden-flavescent, 
now almost like bright copper ; never found in fruit by Welwitsch ; 
in dense primitive woods, where Coffea arabica is frequent, at an 
elevation of 2400 ft., on the mountains of Cungulungulo ; Feb. 1855. 
No. 145, also No. 211, in part. 
Cazengo. — Longly pendent from branches of trees, propagating 
itself abundantly, but not found in fruit, though diligently sought, by 
Welwitsch ; in shady moist elevated places on the mountain of 
Muxaiilo ; June 1855. No. 145. 
Both of our tickets are placed under the same number, and the 
specimens are mixed. These latter belong to the section Orthostichella, 
and in habit rather resemble P. viridia Jaeg. Gen. et Spec. II., p. 162, 
but the ramuline leaves are spathulate from a contracted base, obsoletely 
binervate, more longly acuminate, with upper margins involute and 
serrulate. The leaves are pentastichously arranged ; and those of the 
primary branches are nearly twice as long as the ramuline, and bear an 
elongated subulate flexuose acumen about 0"6 mm. in length.

Golungo Alto. — Almost always mixed with other mosses, Frullania, 
etc., on trees and more rarely on rocks close by ; frequent upon trunks 
of Coffea arabica in the Coffea forests at an elevation of 2800 to 3000 ft. 
on the mountains of Cungulungulo ; without fr. Feb. 1855. No. 161. 
Our specimens belong to the section Floribundaria and resemble 
Papillariafloribunda C. Muell (in Linnaaa XL. (1870) p. 267) in habit, 
but the leaves are equarroso-recurved, ovate acuminate from a cordate 
base, upper margins more markedly serrate. The cells are seriately 
3- to 4-papillate.
