194 FLORA OF TASMANIA. | Musci, by W. Wilson. 
DistriB. Norfolk Island, New Zealand (ide Taylor). 
Closely allied to B. mollis (Dz. and Molk. Ann. Sc. Nat. 1844, ii. 300).—Leaves less crowded, more patent, 
of laxer texture; areols larger, rectangular, flexuose at the apex; margin not reflexed ; serratures larger and more 
distant, less evidently in a double series. — The specimens are too few to admit of more than one capsule being 
examined, but if the character of the inner peristome prove constant, it will be a good mark of the species.— 
Prate CLXXIV. Fig. 4; 1, portion of stem and leaves; 2, leaf; 3, capsule :—all magnified. 
This I take to be the B. uncinata, Schweegr., of Fl. N. Zeal. ii. 89.— Mitten, in lit. 
4. Bartramia affinis (Hook. Musc. Exot. t. 176); dioica, caule tomentoso parce fasciculato-ramoso, 
foliis erecto-patentibus strictis ovato-lanceolatis acuminatis subintegris basi subplicatis margine anguste 
recurvis nervo crassiusculo longe excurrente, pericheetialibus minoribus erectis, seta breviuscula, capsula 
subpendula oblonga subpyriformi sulcata, operculo conico. 
Has. Moist ground, frequent. Goat Hill, New Norfolk. Back River Gully. Kangaroo Bottom. 
Mount Wellington. (J. D. H.) (Gunn, 1627, 1683.) (Oldfield, 149, 153, 280.) On dead timber, in 
exposed places: Mount Wellington, Mossman. 
Distris. New Zealand, Australia. 
$ 3. BREUTELIA.— Folia vaginantia, plicata, squarrosa. — Caulis fasciculato-ramosus. Inflorescentia dioica ; 
fl. mase. discoideus. : 
5. Bartramia pendula (Hook. Musc. Exot. t. 21); dioica, caule fasciculatim ramoso tomentoso, 
foliis patentibus ovato-lanceolatis longe acuminatis serrulatis striatis excurrentinerviis, seta elongata, capsula 
pendula oblonga sulcata.—Schwegr. Suppl. t. 239. 
Has. Mount Wellington, elev. 2000 feet. Mount Nelson. Brown's River. (J. D. H.) (Oldfield, 326.) 
Disrris. New Zealand, Hermite Island, Campbell’s Island. 
This I take to be the true B. Sieberi.— Mitten, in lit. 
6. Bartramia crassa (Hook. fil. et Wils.); dioica, caule tomentoso robusto longiusculo parce 
vageque ramoso, foliis confertis patentibus plerumque secundis e basi ovata amplexicaule lanceolato-acumi- 
natis plicatis serrulatis nervo angusto subexcurrente, seta longa, capsula inclinata oblonga,—B. gigantea, 
Schwegr. Suppl. t. 161. (Conf. B. Sieberi, Hornsch. ; C. Mueller, Syn. Muse. i. 491.) (Tas. CLXXIV. 
Fig. 5.) 
Has. Near springs: top of Western Mountains. Mount Wellington. Creek above the Wellington 
Falls. (Gunn.) (Oldfield, 101, 104, 106, 111.) ! 
Stem 1 inch, rigid. Leaves yellowish, glossy, not crisped when dry. Seta 13 inch. Capsule large.—Allied 
to B. pendula; leaves more sheathing at the base, less acuminate; serratures more evident; areole narrower. The 
true B. gigantea (Schweegr. Suppl. t. 63) is a larger Moss, with more widely spreading leaves.—PrLATE CLXXIV.

1. Bartramia Sieberi (Hornsch. in Muscis Sieberianis, n. 131); “ dioica, caule procumbente sub- 
erectove ramulis brevibus fasciculatis ramoso innovante iterumque ramoso inferne dense radiculoso, foliis 
haud nitidis e basi brevi erectiuscula ad insertionem contracta patentibus lanceolatis estriatis nervo angusto 
in acuminem setaceo-pungentem excurrente marginibus serrulatis inferne recurvis cellulis omnibus elongatis 
angustis papillosis, pericheetialibus conformibus, theca in pedunculo rubro unciali apice flexura angusto 
pendula ovalis plicata, operculo depresso conico, peristomio parvo, normale?, flore masculo foliis quadruplo 
latioribus late ovatis patulis nervo superne evanido.” — Mitten, in Journ. Linn. Soc. ined. (Tas. CLXXIV.
