86 GEOLOGICAL AND NATURAL UISTORY SURVEY OP CANADA. 



when dry very much crisped, when moist subarcuate, short-attenuate 

 to the acute apex ; borders revolute above the base, for the greater part, 

 at least on one side, distinctly papillose, also at the back ; cells at basal 

 wings sub-quadrate hyaline with incrassate transveise walls, those next 

 the costa narrower, rectangular, in straight rows, the lowest oiange; 

 costa pale, subpercurrent. Male flower at the side of the female. 

 Inner perigonial leaves broad, short-ovate, obtui*ate or suddenly short- 

 acuminate ; cells round only in the acumen, the others narrow, the 

 lower basal wider and yellow ; antheridiu about 9, with several para- 

 physes. Perichetial leaves with sublinear bai^al cells. Capsule dark- 

 brown, short subovoid, not contracted on the mouth, costaie ; pedicel 

 short, scarcely emergent. Caljptra densely hairy. 



This species is a true Ulota, although the revolute leaf-borders, the 

 distinctly papillose cells and the short pedicellate capsule are more like 

 to an Orthotrichum.
