The synonymy of this and the ae species have been considerably 
this a good deal of confusion has been introduced through careless aes 
to and neglect of authorities. A considerable part of the above s 
is taken from Fleischer (Musci von Buitenzorg, 1, 62), by whom the i entity

the present plant, ae belongs to the Biniwitg species, vile the synonymy 
of the St. Helena plant, which Mitten pointed out is not identical, as Hooker 
and Wilson in the Flora of New Zealand supposed, with the a species, 
is quite cas reee given. It should probably read as follows
