(351.) O. psilothecium, C. M. & Kindb. (n. sp.) 



Plants small, 1 cm. long or less, green. Leaves short oblong- 

 lanceolate, obtusate or short-acuminate, sub-obtuse, revolute at the 

 borders to the greater part, faintly papillose; costa percurrent. 

 Capsule small, immersed, oblong not striate before sporosis, very short- 

 necked; vaginula naked ; calyptra slightly hairy at the blackish apex, 

 finally glabrous and light-brown, narrow, covering the whole capsule; 

 lid rostellate. Male flowers on distinct branches. 



This species has the habit of Orthotrichum fallax, Schimp. (0. 

 jSchimperi, Hamm.) We have not been able to examine the peristome 

 and the stomata of the capsule, because only one capsule (in our 

 specimens) is nearly ripe, the others are quite unripe.
