4 Including H. trichomanoides L. & J. Man. 285 (not Bruch. & Schimper), H. obtusata 

 L. & J. (not Mitten). I am unable to detect from the descriptions alone any character 

 which will separate H. Jamesii from H. Macounii. If type specimens show H. Jamesii 

 to be the same its priority will make it the name for the type instead of H. Macounii.
