ANDRE^ACE^. 



ANDRE-ffiA CRASSINERVIS Bruch. 



Var. fi Huntii {Limpr.) 



Plants taller. Leaves longer with a narrower nerve ; perich. bracts 

 shorter, obovate, obtuse or apiculate. 



Syn. — A. commntata (non C. Muell.) Limpr. in 6i Jahresb. der Schles. Ges. 221 (1883). 

 A. Huntii Limpr. in Rabenh. kr. fl. 2 ed. band, iv, 145, f. 55 (1886). 



Hab. — Loch Kandor {Hunt 1871) ! ! Buttermere and Borrowdale [Hunt 

 1871) ! Styehead Pass and Scawfell [Baker 1879) ! ! 



Although from the longer slender stems with laxer leaves, this has a 

 distinct appearance, we do not think it has characters sufficient to separate 

 it from A. crassinervis ; the lamina of the leaf narrows upward and vanishes 

 more gradually than in that species, of which we prefer to regard it as a 

 variety, but the specimens were referred by Schimper to A . falcata. A third 

 closely allied plant from Steiermark, is named by Lindberg A. angustata. 



FOLYTRICHACE^. 



Catharinea Dixoni Braithw. MSS. Dixon in Journ. Bot., 1885, 

 p. 169. 



This species must be erased from the list, as it proves to be only a form 

 of Polytrichum gracile with fewer lamellae than usual. 



LEUCOBRYACE^. 



2, LEUCOBRYUM MINUS Hamfe. 



Dioicous ; resembling L. glaucum, but much smaller. Leaves very 

 dense, narrower, erect. Caps, oblong, sub-erect, nearly regular, not 

 strumose. (T. XLV, B.)
