182 GEOLOGICAL AND NATURAL HISTORY SURVEY OP CANADA. 



(685.) P. falcicuspiS, C. M. & Kindb. (n. sp.) ; Canadian Musci, 

 No. 510. 



Plants densely tufted. Stems much branching. Leaves very papillose, 

 denticulate above, short, ovate-lanceolate, attenuate to an acute or 

 filiform, often curved, point, long-decurrent ; margins recurved to or 

 above the middle, not in the upper part ; cells rotundate, at the angles- 

 quadrate ; costa vanishing far below the acumen. Dioecious. 



Differs from Pseudoleskea atrovirens principally in the long-decurrent, 

 very distinctly papillose and more denticulate leaves. 



On rocks, west side of Lake Mara, Sicamous, B.C., July 3rd, 1889 ; 

 on rocks at the Illicillewaet Canon, near Eevelstoke, also at Quesnel, 

 B.C. (Macoun.) 



(686.) P. malacoclada, C. M. & Kindb. (n. sp.) 



P. catenulata, Canadian Musci, No. 460. 



Plants densely tufted. Stems not rigid, much branching, sparingly 

 radicant without paraphyllia ; branches green or finally fuscescent. 

 Leaves crowded, entire, not decurrent, not distinctly papillose ; the 

 stem-leaves from a concave, broadly ovate or rotundate base suddenly 

 narrowed to the subulate or filiform, recurved acumen ; branch-leaves 

 more attenuate to the subulate and patent point ; basal margins 

 recurved ; cells rotundate, the alar quadrate ; costa very short and 

 double or none. Perichetial leaves closely connivent with a patent or 

 curved acumen ; cells sublinear-lanceolate. Dioecious. 



This species resembles Leskea nervosa in habit, but is very different 

 in its nerveless leaves ; it is rather allied to the European Pseudoleskea 

 catenulata, but is more robust. 



On dry rocks in the ravine west of Murray's Ranche, Spence's 

 Bridge, B.C., May 25th, 1889.
