ADDITIONS TO FLORA OF PALESTINE. 169 



3. Grimmia leucophcea, Grev. With the preceding, barren. This is 

 probably the same as G. sinaica (Hampe), enumerated by Lorentz, who 

 suspected his specimens to be a state of G. leucophcea. 



4. G. trichophylla, Grev. Jericho, a few slender stems with very 

 young fruit. 



5. G. pulvinata, Linn. Jericho, with old fruit. 



6. G. criiiita. Mount Hor, with old fruit. Edom. The barren 

 stems of this species seem to answer to the description given by Lorentz 

 of his " Trichostomum Aronis," p. 29, and to his figures of that moss, 

 T. V. His specimens being barren, the piliferous leaves surrounding the 

 fruit had not been developed. In this Grimmia the transformation is 

 considerable and rather abrupt. 



7. Hymenostylium rupestre, Schwaeg. {Gymnostomum). Jebel Mtisa, 

 Jebel Katharina, barren. 



8. H. verticillatum {Encladium, B. et S.). Same locality as pre- 

 ceding, and in the same barren condition. It is also included in Lorentz's 

 list. 



9. Tortula vinealis, Brid. Jericho, barren. 



10. T. rigidula, Hedw. {Trichostomum). Gaza, barren. Seems to 

 be this species. 



11. T. unguiculata. Gaza, a few barren stems. 



12. T. tophacea, Brid. [Trichostomum). Mount Hor, Edom. Quite 

 barren, as it is mentioned by Lorentz. 



13. T. nitida, Lindb. [Trichostojnum). Same locality as last. 



14. T. revoluta. Gaza, barren stems intermixed. 



15. T. muralis, L. Jericho, with fruit. Beersheba, Jaffa. All are 

 in the piliferous state, as were Lorentz's specimens. 



16. T. membranifolia, Hook. Jericho. Edom, with fruit, but old. 

 Lorentz had it from Bir Hummam (between Huleh and Gennesaret ?). 



1 7. T. inermis, Mont. Jebel Miisa, with old fruit ; also Edom, in a 

 smaller state. 



18. T. ambigua, B. et S. Gaza, Mount Hor. The specimens being 

 fairly complete, permit this to be determined. Lorentz enumerates
