5. EPIPTERYGIUM Lindb. 



Oefv. vet. ak. foerhandl. xix, 603 (1862). 



Small mosses inhabiting wet clay banks and resembling in habit 

 some species of Mnium. Leaves — especially in the sterile plants — of 

 two forms, unequal, two lateral rows large distichous and somewhat 

 complanate, two or three anterior rows minute stipuliform. Infl. and 

 fruit as in Pohlia. — Der. ctti upon, irrepuyiov a little wing. 



Elegant mosses of peculiar habit which fairly entitles them to generic 

 distinction. A second and larger species — E, jfamaicense Lindb. — is found in 

 the West Indies.
