The plants on which this genus is based look much like 
a small Rhabdoweisia but in structure they appear to be 
nearer Oreoweisia, from which they differ especially in the 
ribbed capsule, the broad, smooth peristome-teeth and the 
papillose calyptra. 
Rhabdoweisiella papillosa sp. nov. 
Apparently dioicous, the male flowers not found: plants 
minute, more or less gregarious, 2-4 mm. high; stems with 
a few radicles at the base, in cross-section oval, with large 
Sea strand; stem-leaves mostly 1 mm. or less long, 
n dry contorted, scarcely crispate, when moist erect- 
pene spatulate- “oblong, obtuse, somewhat keeled, the 
margins flat, crenulate about half way down; costa stout, 
smooth, vanishing well below the apex of the leaf, in cross- 
section ous two large cells on the ventral side and a 
band of about two rows of stereid cells on the dorsal side; 
cells of a pellucid throughout, in the upper half of leat 
not elongate, 12-16 p in diameter, with solitary, mamillose 
papillae on both sides, the c ells of lower leaf square to 
rectangular, not papillose, slightly convex; ce 
a little larger and more pointed with the smooth elongate 
cells of lower leaf extending higher up; seta somewhat 
i about 1.5 mm. long; capsule oblong, nearly erect, 
about mm. long without lid, 8-ribbed when dry, the 
eal cells nearly square, with thin, straight walls 
slightly convex on the outer surface, the stomata obscure, 
few, near the base of the capsule; ‘annulus distinct, of a 
single row of large cells; peristome teeth 16, lanceolate, 
united in pairs nearly to the apex, smooth between the 
prominent and rather close articulations; lid convex-acute, 
in height about equalling its basal diameter; calyptra 
cucullate, extending about one half way down the capsule, 
divided to near the apex, the upper ends of the cells pro- 
jecting into conspicuous a a over the entire outer 
surface; spores rough, 20-24 » in diameter
