(861.) H. chloropterum, C. M. & Kindb. (n.sp.) 



H. {Srachythedum) Novss-Anglise, Canadian Musci, No. 440. 



Tufts laxly C(>hering, with few rhizoids, whitish or bright green, not 

 shining. Stem more or less densely pinnate, rigid. Stem-leaves small, 

 patent also in a dry state, loosely and long-decuri-ent, auricled; 

 papillose at back, distinctly but faintly plicate, concave, broad-ovate, 

 suddenly narrowed to a short, in a dry state, twisted acumen ; borders 

 broadly recurved below, sometimes to the middle, denticulate all around 

 from the apex to the auricles ; areolation lax, more or less chlorophyl- 

 lose ; alar cells larger, subquadrate, numerous, the other oval-oblong, 

 only the uppermost narrow ; costa distinct, reaching above the middle ; 

 branch-leaves more loosely disposed, sometimes ovate-oblong and narrow- 

 areolate. Capsule small, suboblong, straight or curved ; lid elongate- 

 conic, oblique-apiculate or rostellate ; pedicel 1-1.5 cm. long, very 

 rough, purple. Inner perichetial leaves narrower, longer filiform- 

 pointed, nerveless. Monoecious. 



This species resembles Hypnum Novce-Anglice in habit, but differs 

 considerably in the distinctly papillose, looser and patent, wider- 

 areolate leaves and the monoecious inflorescence. In Hypnum Novce- 

 Anglice, the branches are julaceoUs and the leaves nearly appressed in 

 a dry state, the branchlets shorter and less evolute. Both have a wide 

 leaf-areolation, resembling the allied Hypnum fiUcinum and Hypnum 

 commutatum, also the genus Amblystegium.
