of one layer of cells, upper part of leaf two-layered; costa strong, about 

 one-third width leaf; leaf cells in the lower part round-quadrate, at the 

 base near costa rectangular: conial leaves shorter with the costa often dis- 

 appearing below apex, margin sometimes irregularly toothed: inner peri-

31. Andreaea Blyttii Schimp. Very small slender and densely pulvi- 

 nate, brownish black to deep black: stem very slender, rather rigid, brittle, 

 fastigiate-branched, rooting: leaves divaricate-homomallous, those near 

 the tips falcate-secund, from an oval or ovate base suddenly subulate, 

 nearly smooth, shining, brittle; costa semi-terete, occupying almost all the 

 subula, terete at apex; cells near apex round, at base all rectangular: 

 $ plants gregarious, more slender than ?, perigonial Ivs. 6, the 3 inner 

 united into a bud, acuminate, ecostate; antheridia 5-6, long pedicellate, 

 with longer filiform flexuous paraphyses: perichsetium large, far exceeding

32. Andreaea Macounii Kindb. Dioicous: tufts soft, dark brown or 

 brick red, not glossy: stems about 5 cm. high: leaves narrow, suddenly 

 long acuminate from broader base, distinctly but faintly papillose, more or 

 less curved, uppermost falcate, when dry sub-crispate; cells uniform sub- 

 quadrate; costa narrow, linear, nearly smooth, in the upper leaves long 

 excurrent and denticulate, sometimes to middle. Bull. Torr. Bot. Club 

 17: 82. 1890. In cushions and flat mats on inclined faces of rocks on

33. Andreaea nivalis Hook. Dioicous: tufts broad, thicK, soft, dirty 

 greenish brown, reddish brown or black, not glossy: stem 4-10 cm. long: 

 leaves more or less falcate, crispate when dry, uniformly elongated into a 

 sharp point from a somewhat enlarged or auricled base; lamina 1-layered, 

 papillose on both surfaces, irregularly toothed near apex; costa quite 

 strong, uniform in width even to apex; leaf cells quadrate or short rectan- 

 gular: perigonial leaves ecostate, broadly oval, suddenly long pointed; peri- 

 chaetial leaves quite similar to stem leaves. Limpr. Laubm. 1: 152. Mt.

34:. Archidium Hallii minus R. & C. Smaller, leaves shorter, costa 

 percurrent or short excurrent. Bot. Gaz. 19: 237. 1894. Louisiana. 



35. Phascum subexsertum Hook. 1 Stemless, cespitose: leaves lingu-

 acuminate. Mac. Cat. 12. Northwest Territory. 



1 This species is not sufficiently known (Ren. & Card). Wilson states that this is per- 

 haps only a remarkable variety of P. cuspidatum. Hook. Journal Bot. 3: 433. 1841.
