 Spruce; the Sarco-'^c//jjJufs he named after Dr. Spruce ("Jahres- 

 Bericht der Schles. Gesellschaft," p. 179 (1881). 



In 1881 ("Rev. Brj'ol."), Dr. Spruce published his Pyrenean 

 plant as Marsupella ii-stiflafa, and a variety (var. decipiens) of Sar- 

 coscyphus Sprucei, Limpricht, as Marsupella olivacea. 



A few years later he observed, in a letter to me, that Hiibener 

 has a Jiinr/ermaiiia ffstf/dafff, which, from the description, is identical 

 with liis species, wdiich now stands Marsupella nstulata (Hiib.) Sp.
