Laubm. Schwed. & Norweg., but exactly agreeing with the original 

 specimens of E. Mdcounii sent by Prof. Macoun. The description, 

 made by Austin, cited by Lesq. & James, is, however, not completely 

 exact : '• calyptra densely papillose, pedicel reddish, papillose, the 

 leaves muticous ;" such characters are not to be found, the calyptra and 

 the yellow pedicel are nearly smooth as in the true E. ciliata, to which 

 the descriptions of the peristome by Schimper and Braithwaite probably 

 belong. The descriptions by Lesq. & James and Boulay could partly 

 be referred to E. JUacounii, although all authors agree in the descrip- 

 tion of the capsule o{E. ciliata ^j" without a distinct collum" ; E. Macounii 

 has a distinct collum and the margin of the leaves distinctly reflexed. 

 I possess no specimens of the true E. ciliata from Korth America. It 

 may not occur there. 



(369.) E. leiocarpa, Kindb. Bull. Torr. Bot. Club. XVII. 273. 



Monoecious. Stem 3-4 cm. high, dichotomously branched, radiculose. 

 Leaves erect-patent, lingulate, • faintly revolute nearly all around, 

 without a hair-point; the lower decolorate brown, subacute, incurved ; 

 the comal larger, green, obtuse, slightly twisted ; basal cells hyaline, 

 the marginal very papillose ; costa faintly papillose, not excurrent, in 

 the lower leaves brown, in the comal green or reddish at the base. 

 Perigonial leaves with a short thick tip. Capsule straight, smooth, 

 cylindric with a short apophysis ; peristome simple, orange ; pedicel 

 red ; calyptra papillose all around, not fringed. 



This species, in habit, resembles E. streptocarpa, but the capsule and 

 the peristome are very different, nearly as in the true E. longipes, Mitt., 

 by Lesq. & James considered as E. procera, distinguished by the twisted 

 capsule and the double peristome.

(SYO.) E. longipes, Mitt. Journ. Linn. Soc. VIII. 29; Canadian 

 Musci, No. 474. 



Stem about 2 cm. high or lower, branched and radiculose. Leaves 

 erect-patent, narrow, sublingulate, revolute all around, short-acuminate, 

 obtusate or sub-acute, without a hairpoint ; the lower decolorate brown, 

 incurved, the upper green, irregularly crisped ; lower basal cells 

 hyaline. 



Differs from Encalyptra leiocarpa principally in the stem being 

 shorter, the leaves shortacuminate or subacute, costa very rough, 

 narrowed from the base, the calyptra regularly laciniate, very rough 

 and subspinulose above, blackish to a third of the apex, the capsule
