dwarf form of C. flexuosus. Mr. Wilson, to whom I sent it, can- 

 not refer it to any described species, and proposes the above name 

 for it. "It comes nearest to C. Schwarzii, but the narrower 

 nerve, &c., connect it more with my C. Shawii. It seems almost 

 to c nnect these two species." ( Wilson, MSS.) It is of a dark 

 green colour above, and yell jwish beneath, and grows in masses 

 mixed with Dicranum hetercmallum, in a fir wood (Trickley plant- 

 ing) on the top of Whiteside hill, near Wooler. The rock beneath 

 is white sandstone, and there is only -a thin layer of peat between 

 the surface and the rock.
