An instructive paper on the geographical distribution and 
natural grouping of the species of the genus Bryum which occur 
in Bohemia is published by J. Podpéra in the Beihefte zum Botanischen 
Centralblatt, xii. 1902, pp. 1-88. The two subgenera Cladodium and 
Eubryum are respectively northern and southern in their main dis-

Plants. Kubryum, on the other hand, is richly represented

have been recorded for Europe. Twenty of these have no special
