36 QEOLOaiOAL AND NATURAL HISTOET SURVEY OP CANADA. 



<^210.) B. cylindrica, Schimp. ; Lesq. & James, Mosses of N. Ame- 

 rica, 125 ; Canadian Musci, No. 81, in pai't. 



On rocks, Deer Park, Lower Arrow Lake, Columbia Eiver, B.C., 

 June 11th, 1890 ; on damp rocks at Spence's Bridge, Tale, and Agassiz, 

 B.C.; also wet rocks, Cadboro Bay, Vancouver Island. (Macoun.) 



(211.) B. robustifolia, C M. & Kindb. (n. sp.) 

 Barbida ruUginosa, Canadian Musci, No. 75. 



Very nearly allied to Barhula torteUifolia. Differs in the dark 

 brown or olive-green color of the whole plant, the leaves being more 

 crowded, shorter with an ovate-oblong base, borders reflexed nearly to 

 the middle at one side, upper cells larger and sub-pellucid, the basal 

 ones hyaline subquadrate, costa thicker and not excurrent, linear and 

 ■distinct to the apex. Barren. 



Abundant on rocks at Cedar Hill and other localities near Victoria ; 

 also on rocks on Mount Erskine, Salt Spring Island, Gulf of Georgia, 

 B.C. First collected at Victoria, May 5th, 1 8*75, and then named B. 

 rubiginosa by Austin. (Macoun.') 



(212.) B. torteUifolia, C. M. & Kindb. (n. sp.) 



Sarbvla cylindrica, Canadian Musci, No. 81, in part. 

 B. flexifolia, Canadian Musci, No. 399. 



This species very much resembles Barhula horridifolia in its habit 

 but is found in a well-fruiting state. It is generally more robust, often 

 4-5 cm. high and finally sometimes quite red. The stem is more 

 divided, the leaves broader, less distinctly deourrent, the comal ones 

 larger and crowded, short-pointed by the excurrent costa ; the 

 perichetial ones suddenly attenuate to a long narrow acumen, but the 

 costa is faintly excun-ent. The capsule is large sub-cylindric, reddish 

 doubly longer than the beak ; peristome long, once loosely contorted 

 whitish. Dioecious. 



On wet rocks on the North Arm, Burrard Inlet, B.C. ; on rocks 

 by the sea. Telegraph Bay, near Victoria, Vancouver Island ; also on 

 rocks by the sea, Vesuvius Bay, Salt Spring Island, Gulf of Georgia, 

 B.C. {Macoun.) 



(213.) B. circinnatula, C. M. & Kindb. (n. sp.) 



Nearly allied to Barhula cylindrica or rather intermediate between 

 Barhula elata and B. virescens. Differs in the upper leaves being green , 

 circinnate-twisted in the dry state, the peristome paler and the annulus 

 simple ; the areolation of the leaves is also more distinct.
