On divide between Lake Titicaca and Sorata, 4300 meters, 
Aug. 29, 1901 (1890). Specimens paroicous: segments of 
endostome variable, sometimes over 20 wide 4 up, not 
papillose, from low basal membrane; spores rough, up to 
20 4 in diameter. Original specimens of the U. S. Expl. 
Exp. show rough spores up to 24 in diameter. Also col- 
lected at Juliaca, Peru, May 16, 1902, on sandstone (2792). 
Mielichhoferia subglobosa sp. nov. 
Paroicous: in compact yellowish-green tufts up to 2.5 cm. 
high; leaves erect, ovate-lanceolate, the upper larger, about 
m. long, serrulate toward apex, with a stout nerve 
serrulate above on the back and vanishing below apex or 
excurrent into a short point; median leaf cells rather irregu- 
lar, up to about 10 4 wide and 60 » long; perichaetial aa 
very similar to stem leaves; capsule subglobose, 
one half down capsule up to 30 wide and 40-6oy long; 
annulus large; no outer peristome, the inner of smooth seg- 
ments about 12 4 wide half way up, from a low basilar mem- 
brane; spores nearly smooth, up to 16 p in diameter. 
In crevices of rock at 4500 meters on Mount Sorata, Sept. 
247, 1902. This species is near JZ. modesta C. M. but is a 
larger plant with longer, narrower pointed leaves as well as 
different capsule (1885).
