68 The Botanical Gazette. [February, 
Androcryphia longiseta from California and Texas, giving F. 
longiseta Aust. MS. as a synonym for the latter. 
2. Austin issued four species® as follows: F. longiseta 
no. 118, F. angulosa, no. 119, F. pustlia, no. 120, and F. 
cristula, no. 121 
1875. Lindberg incommenting on Austin’s exsiccatzx® rec- 
ognizes nos. 118 and 121 as good species, the former allied 
to F. cristata and the latter to F. foveolata of Europe. With 
no. 118, he says, a second species occurs (the Texas speci- 
mens) which he briefly characterizes under a name (Ff. Texana 
Lindb. MS.). No. 119 he asserts is not F. angulosa as known 
in Europe, and he briefly characterizes the sterile specimens 
under the MS. name of F. sa/ina Lindb. No. 120he refers 
doubtfully to F. foveolata but later? refers it to this species 
with more positiveness. 
1876, ustin described® F. Macouni from Canada (Port- 
age La Lochs, lat. 57°), and F. Wrighti¢ from Cuba (the 
latter based on material distributed later in Hep. Cubenses 
Wrightiane as ‘‘F. pusilla”), and briefly characterized the 
Texan specimens (originally included in F. longiseta and 
named F. Texana by Lindberg) under the name of F. Cubana 
(Gott.) Aust., including with them material collected in Cuba 
by Charles Wright which had been named by Gottsche and 
were afterwards distributed in Hep. Cubenses Wrightiane as 
‘F. pusilla, var. Cubana G.” 
The above species represent all the material that was known 
to me when the compilation was made for my descriptive cat- 
alogue of species.® It is fair to state that at the time of 
publication of that paper Lindberg’s publication noted above 
was not known to me. 
- Underwood and Cook issued?° specimens of F. Du- 
morttert‘. as no. 47. This species had previously been cited 
® Hepatice Boreali-Americanz.

1° Hepatice Americanz, dec. V-VI. N 1885. a 
he name of this species here given cannot stand under the present rules 
nomenclature as it was based on a nomen nudum and that issued in exsiccaté. 
Lindberg's original name, therefore, must hold. The synonymy of the species 
is as follows::
