Disrris. New Zealand, Sieber. 
Stems in all the Tasmanian specimens scarcely exceeding an inch in height; colour of the foliage yellowish-

8. Bartramia divaricata (Mitten, in Journ. Linn. Soc. ined.); “dioica, caule elongato inferne tomen- 
toso subsimplici, foliis e basi brevi caulem amplectente, cellulis hyalinis pluribus ad angulos marginum 
congestis, divaricatis lanceolatis plicatis papillosis margine serrulatis nervo tenui excurrente mucronatis 
siccitate subflaccidis, perichætialibus ovatis integerrimis nervo angustissimo, theca in pedunculo elongato 
horizontali oblongo-ovali, collo pyriformi attenuato, operculo conico, peristomio normali.” 
Has. Cheshunt, Archer. 
Distris. New Zealand. 
Resembles the larger states of B. pendula, but differs in its divaricated leaves, which have, when dry, a sub- 
flaccid appearance, a differently formed base, and the stems almost simple. Mitten, l. c. 
9. Bartramia comosa (Mitte, in Journ. Linn. Soc. ined.) ; “ dioica, caule erecto inferne fusco 
tomentoso superne ramis pluribus comosis ramoso, foliis e basi breviter erecta superne dilatata utrinque 
ad margines seriebus pluribus cellularum hyalinarum majorum limbata inde patentibus divergentibusque 
sensim angustatis lanceolatis plicatis minute papillosis margine serrulatis nervo excurrente setiformi sicci- 
tate haud mutatis, perichetialibus minoribus ovato-lanceolatis, theca in pedunculo elongato sesquiunciali 
ovali inclinata plicata operculo conico peristomio normale.” (Tas. CLXXIV. Fig. 7.)

This fine species differs from all the states of B. pendula in the short, erect base of its leaves, which is widest 
at the point from which the superior portion is deflexed, and composed of cells which are everywhere far shorter.
