“ Like F. bryoides, but distinguished from that by the semi- 
limbate leaves. From F. cuspidatus it is also sufficiently 
marked off by the structure of its leaves.”

Breutelia commutata, Hampe in Linnea 1876,307. (Bastow’s 
list, p. 86, name only.) 
Dioicous ; robust, vaguely branching, decumbent. Stem 
nearly everywhere rufous-tomentose; the fertile ascending, 
radiate above, yellowish, with acute cylindric and tapering 
branches ; the male stem nearly simple, stellate at the apex. 
Stem leaves accumbent when dry, erect and patulous when 
wet, from a contracted concave base, many times folded, 
broadly ovate-lanceolate, nearly quite entire, the nerve ex- 
tending throughout and ending in a bristly point, the whole 
margin revolute; the cells shortened parallelograms, the 
nodules very small and irregularly punctate, the base and side 
with a slight, rather broad, reflexed covering with squared 
cells, reticulate, pellucid, enlarged. Leaves of the radial 
branches smaller, more pellucid, very finely reticulate, 
markedly rough, with a terete yellowish nerve excurrent in a 
denticulate awl-like point. The inner perichetial leaves 
small, ovate-lanceolate, nerved, with a short bristly point, 
deeply folded, hyaline ; cells rectangular, smooth, reticulate. 
Seta scarcely an inch high, ruddy, apex inclined. Capsule 
spherical when young, afterwards drooping, oblong, slightly 
striate when dry; operculum shortly conic, obtuse. -Peris- 
tome inflexed, very small, blood-red; the outer teeth 
narrowly lanceolate and acuminate, densely trabeculate; the 
inner of very short cilia, ovate-acuminate.
