SUBORDER 1. ANDRAACEZ. 
Gen. I. ANDREZA, Ehrh. 
Theca in receptaculo exserto sessilis, fere ad basin valvulis quatuor dehiscens; valvulis apice operculo 
persistente connexis. Calyptra mitreformis. 
1. Andrezea petrophila (Ehrh. Beiträge, i. 192) ; foliis e basi subvaginante patentibus ovato-acu- 
minatis acutiusculis apice subobliguis dorso papillosis enervibus siccitate appressis.—Bruch et Schimper, 
Bryol. Eur. t. 623. A. rupestris, Hedw. Sp. M. t. 1. f. 2, descriptio ex parte, excl. syn.; Hook. et Tayl. 
Muse. Brit. ii. t. 8; Fl. Antarct. p. 396; Fl. N. Zeal. p. 57. 
Has. On rocks, elev. 1500-3000 feet; Lake Echo, J. D. H.; the Falls, Cheshunt, Archer. (Gunn, 
1702.) 
DirsrarB. Europe, and all other temperate parts of the world. 
2. Andreza montana (Mitten); “ A. alpine simillima, foliis parte superiore sensim acutis vix acu- 
minatis margine integerrimo, margine partis inferioris minute crenulato, cellulis basi oblongis elongatisque 
parallelogrammaticis cite in minutas longitudine 5 latitudine +5 uncie metientes transeuntibus."— 
Mitten, in Journ. Linn. Soc. ined. (Tas. CLXXI. Fig. 1.) 
Has. On rocks: rivulet near Cumming’s Head, Western Mountains, Archer. 
“ Closely resembling 4. alpina in size, habit, colour of its leaves, and general appearance, but the outline of its 
leaves, when compressed, is ovate, slightly acuminate, the cells at the base distinctly parallelogrammatic, and those 
of the upper portion larger. .4. acutifolia has much narrower leaves.” Mitten, l. c.—P LATE CLXXI. Fig. 1; 
1-3, leaves :—all magnified. 
3. Andrezea acuminata (Mitten) ; “A. acutifolie simillima, foliis e basi erecta caulem amplectente 
patulis apicibus incurvis explanatis ovato-lanceolatis margine partis erect: minute crenulato dorso apicem 
versus inconspicue papillosis, cellulis ex apice ad mediam minutis quadrato-rotundatis diametro circiter 
roe uncie metientibus deinde in oblongas subparallelogrammaticas parietes latitudine superantes inferne 
in longioribus angustis fuscidulis parietibus crassioribus transeuntibus, pericheetialibus ovalibus tenuiter acu- 
minatis convolutis."— Mitten, l.c. (Tas. CLXXI. Fig. 2.) 
Has. On rocks: Cheshunt, Archer. 
“ Very nearly allied to 4. acutifolia, Hook. fil. et Wils. Fl. Antarct. p. 118, but with leaves a little wider, and 
cells in the upper portion smaller and more numerous, all with much narrower walls, those just below the middle 
of the leaf with walls narrower than their own width and pellucid. From 4. petrophila it recedes in the form of 
its leaves, as well as in their cellular structure already described.” Mitten, l.c.—Pıare CLXXI. Fig. 2; 1, peri- 
cheetium and capsule; 2, leaves :—both magnified. 
4. Andreza nitida (Hook. fil. et Wils.) ; caulibus suberectis laxe caspitosis parce ramosis, foliis 
erecto-patentibus ovato-oblongis obtuse apiculatis concavis enerviis nitidis marginibus reflexis, pericheetiali- 
bus paulo longioribus erectis.—Z7. Antarct. i. p. 118. t. 57. f. 3; Mitten, l.c. 
Haz. On stones: rivulet near Cumming's Head, Western Mountains, Archer. 
Disrris. Lord Auckland's Islands. 
5. Andreza subulata (Harvey) ; caule subramoso, foliis falcato-secundis subulatis attenuatis basi 
dilatatis crassinerviis, perichetialibus convolutis.—A. subulata, Harvey, in Hook. Ic. Plant. ui. t. 201; 
Fl. Antarct. i. 119; Mitten, l.e. | ] 
Haz. On rocks: Jackey's Plain Creek, and rivulet near Cumming's Head, Western Mountains, Archer. 
Disrnrs. Cape of Good Hope, Lord Auckland's Group, and Campbell's Island.
