ON CALIFORNIA!* MOSSES. 9 



44. POLYTRICIIUM junipcrinum Ileilw. 

 Rocks, Mission Dolores, &c. 



45. AuLACOHNIUII androgynum ScJtic. 



On my Californian specimens, the male flowers are disciform as Bridcl indicates it, and 

 not gemmiform as is generally the case in the European specimens. The brown antheri- 

 dire and filiform paraphyses are very numerous. On old logs of Sequoia viridis; 

 appears to be common in California. April. 



46. BRYUM T o z z e r i Grev. 



Deep shaded ditches near San Francisco. 



47. BRYUM Wahlenbergii ScJuo. 

 Wet rocks, San Francisco. May. 



48. BRYUM B i 1 1 a r d e r i i Schw. 

 Deep Canon, Mount Diablo. May. 



49. BRYUM Californicum Sul. 



In its full development, the cilioli of the internal peristomc are long, mostly two together, 

 and appendiculate. Common in the hills of Oakland on ground, in meadows near shrubs. 

 April. 



50. BRYUM occidentale Sul. 



Like its near relative Bryum ccespiticium, this species is very variable. The ramification 

 is from below and around the first fruit-bearing bud. The branches more or less nume- 

 rous, nearly naked below, are either short, bearing at the top a thick bud of closely im- 

 bricated, short ovate, pointed, concave leaves ; or, on sandy wet soil, become elongated, 

 flagelliform, bearing distant, lanceolate, narrow, pointed leaves. The color of the capsule 

 is as variable as its size. It is more generally blood red, but in the shade, it is either 

 buff colored, or even greenish or variegated, half red, half brown. On sandy soil and 

 rocks near the Bay of San Francisco. 



51. MNIUM insigne Mitt. 



In woods, Oakland. Sterile. 



52. MNIUM M e n z i e s i i C. MM. 



Shaded banks of a creek, Marin County. April, 1863. 



53. BARTRAMIA a t r i c t a Brid. 



Differs only from the normal form by the pedicel round-oval at the top, and not square. 

 On rather wet rocks, Mission Dolores.
