46 Bryophyten. — Floristik etc. 



von decipiens (de Not.), Fissidens gymnandrus Buse, Fontinalis laxa 

 Wtf, zum ersten Mal fertil, Phascum elatum. Es werden ausserdem 

 neue Fundorte zahlreicher anderer Moose aufgeführt und bei einer 

 Reihe von ihnen finden sich Ausführungen morphologischer und 

 biologischer Natur, z. B. bei Campylopus brevipilus Br. eur., Crato- 

 neuron decipiens, Fissidens exilis, F. pusillus, Tetraplodon mnioides. 

 Wohl die bryogeographisch eigenartigste Erscheinung des Gebiets 

 neben der zuletzt genannten Art ist Oligotrichum hercynicunij das 

 Timm in einem lehmigen Graben des Forstes Rosengarten der 

 Lüneburger Heide schon im Jahre 1906 entdeckte und das auch 

 1915 noch reichlich vorhanden war. L. Loeske (Berlin). 



Wheldon, J. A., On Fissidens: with a new variety of i^. pu- 

 sillus. (Journ. Bot. LIV. W 647. p. 317—322. London, Nov. 1916.) 



The author gives a description of Fissidens pusillus var. Wil- 

 soni var. nov., collected on calcareous sand in West Lancashire; 

 and indicates the points in which it differs from F. pusillus, F. 

 incurvus, F. viridulus and their varieties. The inflorescence of the 

 plant is variable; and the author discusses the systematic value of 

 the nature of the inflorescence, and is of opinion that the Status of 

 species founded mainly on the position of the flowers is to be 

 regarded with suspicion. As regards the morphological meaning of 

 the anomalous leaf of Fissidens, the author is in agreement with 

 the Interpretation put forward by E. S. Salmon in 1899.
