REMARKS, 
F. bryoides —The teeth in this species and its congeners are 
somewhat spirally roughened above. The stems bearing their 
first fruit do not bear any male flowers: at the second fruit- 
ing the male flowers are abundant in the axils of the older 
leaves. 
F. bryoides, var. eespitans.—I have seen no American speci- 
mens of this variety.! The rufous purple rhizoids and pale 
color are its most striking characters. These differences, 
together with the robust habit, are just such as we should 
expect on transferring the species to wet places, and do not 
vient to me sufficient basis for the new species proposed by 
itte
