split, cilia 2-3, long appendiculate; annulus of 2-3 rows: dioicous. Bot. 

 Gaz. 15; 57. 1890. Wet sunny bluffs: Portland, Oregon. 



324. Bryum erubescens Kindb. Stems short, scarcely 1 cm. high, 

 loosely tufted: leaves of innovations green, small; stem leaves few, red- 

 dish-brown, not decurrent, ovate- lanceolate, acuminate, red margined, 

 not revolute at entire borders; areolation pellucid, decolorate, upper cells 

 narrow rhomboidal or hexagonal; costa red, more or less excurrent; inner 

 perichsetial leaves smaller, immarginate, slightly sinuolate above, with 

 a percurrent costa: capsule small, regular, pendent, narrow-oblong, con- 

 stricted below mouth; cilia appendiculate; lid convex, mamillate; spores 

 extraordinarily large, about 0.03mm.: dioicous. Mac. Cat. 118. On roots 

 of trees: Lake Louise, Rocky Mountains. 



325. Bryum obtusifolium Kindb. Closely related to B. Neodamense : 

 tufts broad and tumid, 4-7 cm. high, dirty green tinged with red: stems 

 soft: leaves lax, long decurrent, oval, obtuse, very concave, not limbate, 

 slightly reflexed to cucullate apex, entire; cells very lax, slightly thickened, 

 faintly pitted, nearly all rhombic-hexagonal: sterile. Limpr. Laubm. 2: 

 429. 1892. Godhavn and other localities in Greenland. 



326. Bryum erythrophyllum Kindb. Closely allied to the arctic B* 

 obtusi folium: barren stems laxly cohering, blood red, about 1 cm. high: 

 leaves small, reddish, loosely disposed, flaccid, not decurrent, lower leaves 

 ovate, sub-obtuse, upper leaves sometimes more attenuate, furnished with 

 a rigid point to the excurrent costa, entire, sub-immarginate, not reflexed 

 at margins; cells lax, nearly uniform; costa red, percurrent or slightly ex- 

 current, in a short recurved point. Mac. Cat. 131. In boggy places: 

 Truro, N. S.; Revelstoke, B. C. 



327. Bryum erythrophylloides Kindb. Nearly allied to B. erythro- 

 phyllum: agreeing in leaves loosely disposed, rose-red, not decurrent: 

 differs in leaves quite immarginate, narrower, ovate-lanceolate, long acumin- 

 ate or acute ; upper cells narrower ; costa in upper leaves somewhat long 

 excurrent, rigid : barren. Mac. Cat. 272. Cypress Hills, Alberta. 



328. Bryum ancectangiaceum C. M. & Kindb. Tufts compact, radicu- 

 jose, small, scarcely 2 cm.[high; leaves small, rose colored, loosely disposed, 

 not decurrent, spirally contorted when dry, ovate-acute, pellucid, narrow 

 marginate, entire, faintly revolute, laxly areolate ; costa thick, reddish, per- 

 current or short excurrent : probably monoicous, but male flowers not well 

 developed. Mac. Cat. 130. On rocks: Hector, Rocky Mountains, B. C. 



329. Bryum crassirameum Ren. & Card. In robust wide compact 

 yellowish-green tufts: stems robust, stout, branched: leaves erect-spreading 

 when moist, imbricate when dry, ovate-lanceolate, shortly acuminate, not 

 decurrent, very entire or sub-sinuate at apex; margins revolute from base to 

 near apex- costa percurrent or vanishing just below point; cells rectangular 

 at base, hexagonal above, narrower on margins but not forming a distinct
