Hab. Mt. Dana, 11,000 ft., Bol. 
The male plants of this species are mixed in an abundance in the caspites, 
and their terminal buds are thick with numerous anthers without or with a few short 
paraphyses. The perigonial leaves are broad, oval, short-pointed or obtuse, brown 
colored, and obscurely nerved. Some free anthers are also found, though rarely, in 
the axils of the pericheetial leaves. The capsule is rarely symmetrical, but generally 
more or less inflated on the lower side. This moss agrees so well with the excellent 
description given by Muller (Bot. Zeit., N. 40, p. 328) of his B. Drummond: from the 
Rocky Mts., that I should have considered it identical, if it was not that Muller’s moss 
has cilia Weber duplicia brevia, while ours has no trace of cilioli, and that also the 
former is exannulata, while the California moss has a pretty large white revolving annu- 
lus. Muller also does not mention the peculiar stem leaves of the flowers bearing 
plants, and the presence of anthers in the axils of the pericheetial leaves. The areola- 
tion of the leaves is of a Webera, but short and broad.
