MIELICHHOFERIA CAMPYLOCARPA Hook. and Arn. 
Pelichuco, May 3, 1902, at 3100 meters elevation (2793). 
Near Sorata at 4200 meters, Sept. 9, 1901 (1880). These 
specimens are similar to those called macrotheca Nampe MS. 
(Peru, coll. Jay) and which have been correctly referred, I 
believe, to campylocarpa, although I have not seen speci- 
mens of the latter from the type locality. The specimens all 
show a more or less papillose endostome of narrow segments 
from a low basilar membrane and nearly smooth spores from 
144to 16in diameter. The leaf cells are narrow, mostly 
6 or 7» wide. 
MIELICHHOFERIA CAMPYLOTHECA C. M. 
On divide between Lake Titicaca and Sorata, 4200 meters 
elevation, Aug. 29, 1901 (1881). J have seen no specimens 
for comparison but these plants have somewhat rough spores, 
up to 20#in diameter as given in Engler & Prantl by Bro- 
therus, also the median leaf cells are up to 10 » wide and 
segments of endostome not papillose, characters which will 
perhaps separate it from the preceding species. 
MreLicHHOFERIA LONGIPES C. M. 
Pelichuco, May 1, 1902 (2790). Basilar membrane with 
more or less rudimentary processes between the segments; 
nearly smooth spores up to 16 #; pedicel up to 6 cm. 
MIELICHHOFERIA Linpie1r Hampe. 
Near Sorata, at 3000 meters, Sept. 8, rg01r (1886). Speci- 
mens compared with material named by Hampe and they 
differ in no essential respect. The outer peristome is want- 
ing, the inner, from a slightly exserted membrane, is smooth, 
the segments with a distinct median line. In width the seg- 
ments vary largely in the same peristome. Spores nearly 
smooth, up to16 w. The highly convex lid is often acute or 
apiculate rather than obtuse. This species is most closely 
related to Andina of any of the preceding. In Engler and 
Prantl, Lindigz? is placed among those with a double per- 
istome.
