MACOUN.] CATALOGUE OF CANADIAN PLANTS. 163 



Var. MacounN, Kindb., Bull. Ton-. Bot. Club, XVII., 2*75; 

 Canadian Musci, No. 389. 



Differing principally in the leaves being less attenuate and the 

 capsule turgid-oval, completely exserted on the long pedicel (not 

 " narrow half-exserted"). 



The true N. Douglasii has a narrower sub-cylindric capsule in speci- 

 mens collected by Henderson (herb. Kindberg) ; but the capsule-is also 

 exserted ; probably the description in Lesq. & James is not correct. 



Hanging in long festoons from the limbs of trees in shady woods 

 at Hastings and Agassiz, B.C. ; and at Victoria, Nanaimo and Comox, 

 'Vancouver Island. (Macoun.)

 Hypnum trichomanoides, Drumm. Muse. Bor.-Am., No. 171. 



Very nearly allied to Somalia trichomanoides ; differs'in the leaves 

 being longer, rather Ungulate, the lowest basal cells yellow, the 

 perichetial leaves more suddenly narrowed to the very short acumen, 

 the segments of the peristome cleft between the articulations. 



The Asiatic Somalia obtusata (in herb. C. Mueller) is very different, 

 probably not found in North America.
