These specimens are in good fruiting condition. As the 
original specimens were sterile the following description is 
given 
Perichaetial leaves loosely erect, scarcely differentiated; 
seta yellowish, about 7 mm. long; capsule oblong, I-1. 35 
mm. long without lid and about o. 5 mm. in diameter, with 
2 rows of small cells at the rim, the median exothecal cells 
broad, rather irregular, 4-6 side 2d, 30-40 » wide by 40-50 u 
long, with thin walls; lid conical, scarcely beaked, about 
60 mm. high; annulus, peristome and stomata lacking; 
spores smooth, 8-10 in diameter; calyptra cucullate, 
smooth, extending to a little below the lid. 
The Baguio specimens scarcely show any central strand 
in the stems and the outer cells have their walls scarcely 
thickened, also the cells in the border of the upper part 
of the leaf are not distinct from those within, but about 
half way down the leaf a more or less evident border may be 
seen.
