58 Twenty-Second Annual Report on State Cabinet. 



distantly placed, often long-attennated ; leaves unequal, loosely 

 imbricating, ovate-oblong, very obtuse, subapiculate, minutely 

 toothed toward the apex, the lower margin slightly excavated, 

 incurved ; areolation subrhomboidal, longer in the middle of the 

 base of the leaf; costa obsolete or none. Eruit wanting. 



Rocks. Helderberg Mountains. V. Colvin. Sandlake. The 

 stems often appear interruptedly leafy, the leaves being in cer- 

 tain places greatly reduced in size. They are also minute on the 

 attenuated part of the branches. The larger ones are subdistich- 

 ously arranged, and the areolation is rather large. This plant was 

 first discovered by Mr. T. P. James, who has given the very appro- 

 priate specific name under which it is here described. 



PIypnum scoepioides, L. 



Marshes. Litchfield, Herkimer county. I believe the discovery 

 of this species in our State belongs to Rev. J. A. Paine, Jr., by 

 whom the locality was made known to me. 



Plagiothecittm tuefaceum, Lindbg. 



Ground and old logs in woods. Fort Edward, E. C. Howe. 

 Warwick Mountains, C. F. Austin. Helderberg Mountains. 



A species closely resembling P. muhlenbecMi, and possibly run- 

 ning into it, though I have noticed no intermediate forms. It is 

 distinguished by the more narrow elongated areolation of the 

 leaves, and the less enlarged cells at their basal angles. 



Plagiotheoium pilifeeum var. brevipilttm, Bryol Eur op. 



Under overhanging rocks and on thin soil in crevices. Catskill 

 and Adirondack Mountains. Yery rare. Sterile. It may prove 

 to be a good species. 



HEPATIC2E. 



Riccia sullivantii, Austin in lit. Sp. nov. 



Erond with air cavities, green both sides, orbicular, 5"-8" in 

 diameter, repeatedly dichotomously divided, the lacinias oblong- 

 linear, plane when moist, channeled above when dry, apices obtuse, 

 bilobed ; upper surface becoming many-pitted with age, especially 

 toward the base ; lower surface bearing copious, long filamentous 

 rootlets ; capsule single at or near the furcations, bursting from the 

 lower surface of the frond ; spores dark brown, reticulated, about 

 -g-^-o of an inch in diameter. 



Low grounds in cultivated fields. New Lots, Long Island, Sep- 

 tember. 



JUNGEEMANNIA SETIFOEMIS, Ehr/l. 



Rocks. Top of Mt. Mclntyre. 



Jtjxgeemania divaeicata, Eng. Bot. 



On mosses. Catskill and Adirondack Mountains.
