196 FLORA OF TASMANIA. [Musei, by W. Wilson. 
DisrgiB. New Zealand. 
Resembles B. ithyphylla, Brid., but differs in the inflorescence. 
12. Bartramia fragilis (Mitten, in Journ. Linn. Soc. ined.); “dioica?, dense ceespitosa, caule 
erecto subsimplici, foliis densis fragillimis erecto-patentibus e basi appressa laxe vaginante oblonga superne 
paululum dilatata ibigue tenuiter hyalino-marginata laxe areolata subito subulata longe lanceolatis cellulis 
obscuris densis nervo percurrente margine dorsoque serrulatis, perichetialibus lanceolatis inconspicuis, 
theca in pedunculo breviusculo rubro globosa plicata erecta, operculo brevi conico, peristomio externo 
normale interno processibus brevissimis rudimentariis.” (Tas. CLXXIV. Fig. 8.) 
Has. On rocks: rivulet behind Cumming's Head, Western Mountains, Archer. 
DisrarB. New Zealand. 
More densely and compactly ceespitose than B. papillata, the subulate portion of the leaf wider, less papillose, 
and not so obscure. The inflorescence appears to be dioicous. The leaves are so densely congested that the vagi- 
nant base is not erect, but only appressed to those above it, and the slightest touch suffices to detach them from 
the stem. Mitten, J. c.—PrLATE CLXXIV. Fig. 8; 1, leaf; 2, capsule; 3, teeth :—all magnified.
