Hyophila rosea sp. nov. 
Dioicous, the male plants very similar to the fertile: 
about 4 rows of thick-walled cells, often branching, 1-1.5 
cm. long, radiculose at the base, wit e leaves in clusters 
at intervals along the stem and at apex, ae bearing more 
or less stellate propagulae on short, songs filaments in 
the axils of the upper leaves; leaves en dry, twisted, 
arte plicate, when moist, rather ee spreading, 
up to 3.3 mm. long and 0.7 mm. wide, from a narrow base, 
mostly gradually widening upward to above the middle, 
base, percurrent or slightly excurrent, papillose on the 
back to well below the dh cells of leaf rather obscure 
to near the eee roundish or pee crowded, more or 
less mamillose and minutely papillose on both sides, the 
median about 6 » in diameter, the basal mostly yellowish, 
smooth, elongate, oy rectangular except toward the 
margins; outer perichaetial leaves large, similar to those 
of the stem, the I or 2 inner leaves shorter, erect-spreading, 
not convolute below, with the elongate, smooth, basal cells 
extending a little farther up and the apex of leaf more nar- 
rowly acute, with the costa longer excurrent; capsule 
neck and mostly few or no stomata, the exothecal cells up 
to 20 wide and 30-60 4 long with uniformly thickened 
walls; peristome none; annulus large; lid conical apiculate, 
up to three fourths mm. long; calyptra smooth, extending 
about one half way down the capsule; spores nearly smooth, 
I2—-14 pw in diameter.

This species is near H. apiculata Fleisch. It differs in 
its larger size, the leaves rosulate and in having each cell 
of the leaf-margin projecting equally and often bearing 
minute papillae, also the basal cells are yellow and do not 
extend as far up the leaf and the apex of the leaf is broader 
and less apiculate, especially in the perichaetial leaves.
