402 BOTANY. 



tendency to separate as in O. Texanum ; the cross-like projections from their 

 apices are an unusual feature. On damp shaded rocks in the West Humboldt 

 Mountains, Nevada ; 5,500 feet altitude. (1,402.) 



Oethotrichum ANOMALiTM, Hedw. All Europe; Algeria; Grreenland; 

 from the Barrens of Arctic America (Richardson) to the Saskatchewan, 

 (Bourgeau,) Lake Superior, and Canada ; Massachusetts and Pennsylvania ; 

 Colorado, (Hall.) Var.; differing from the type in its thicker leaves, with 

 more revolute margins and more prominent papiUse, which are often bifid, 

 and in its closer areolation; calyptra more pilose. Better specimens may 

 prove it a new species. On sand from granite rocks in Clear Creek Canon 

 near Carson City, Nevada; 5,000 feet altitude. (1,403.) 



Oethoteichum LiEviGATUM, Zetterstedt. DifTert ab O. anomalo simili : 

 foliis solidioribus ad marginem valde revolutis margineqne ipso papillis prom- 

 inulis crenulato, angustius retriculatis, reti basilari breviore saepius sinuoso- 

 lineali ; flore masculo axillari ; calyptra magis pilosa ; capsula ovato-oblonga 

 omnino estriata, leptoderma, lutescente, sicca cylindracea, sulcis angustis 

 irregularibus exarata; peristomii dentibus lanceolatis, regularibus, densius 

 articulatis, punctatis, siccitate reflexis. — This species is allied to O. anomalum, 

 from which it may, however, be known by its smooth capsule with the teeth 

 of the peristome reflexed when dry. It might be mistaken for O. striatum, 

 L., {O. leiocarpum,') on account of its smooth capsule, the only point of re- 

 semblance. Norway ; not before detected in America. In Willow Creek 

 Canon in the Pah-Ute Mountains, Nevada ; 5,500 feet altitude. (1,404.) 



Oethotrichum eupestee, Schl. Mountains of Europe ; Barrens of 

 Arctic America, (Richardson ;) Big Tree Grove and Yosemite Valley, Cali- 

 fornia. On dry rocks in the East Humboldt Mountains, Nevada ; 6,500 feet 

 altitude. (1,405.) 



Oethoteichum occidentale, James. Most nearly allied to O. strangu- 

 latum, from which it differs chiefly in its longer and more loosely foliated 

 stem, in its little longer acute and strongly papillose leaves, the papillae more 

 usually bifid and truncate, and in its slightly longer pedicel, &c. — On rocks 

 in the Uinta Mountains, Provo Canon, Utah ; 8,000 feet altitude. (1,406.) 



Var, With longer papillae, shorter capsule, &c. — In Willow Creek 

 Canon above Washoe Lake, Nevada; 5,500 feet altitude. (1,407.)

 Abyssinia ; New England, Pennsylvania and Illinois ; Mount Diablo, Califor-
