C. torquatus is perhaps the most abundant New Zealand species of the 
genus, and one of the most variable. The short silky stems which are not 
comose at the perichaetia make it fairly easy to recognize at once in the 
field from all but perhaps C. capillatus. It is usually an abundant fruiter. 
e leaves end in a long delicate capillary flexuose subula, which becomes 
oun and frequently distinctly hyaline at the extreme apex, but 
pays 
short base, wide nerve, and lax rectangular hyaline basal areolation, entirely 
without distinct alar cells, also make it easy of recognition.

The type of C. glauco-viridis (C. M.), ““ New Fisinad. Sunday I., 1888, 
leg. Cheeseman,” is certainly C. capillatus. R. Brown’s C. Belli is a small

separable except yy the ‘presence of the clearly differentiated thou ugh not 
very conspicuous auricles ; the leaves are rather larger, the leaf-base perhaps 
usually rather longer, and the stems are tall (up to 3in.), with the upper 
=e markedly comose, the whole plant stouter and less silky. It is also 
near to C. appressifolius. 
“There | is a rather remarkable parallel between these two species and the 
European C. piriformis Brid. (C. torfaceus B. & 8.) and C. flecuosus Brid. 
Here, too, the plants differ principally in size and robustness, in the presence 
oe elar cells in the larger C. fleruosus ; in both cases intermediate forms 
r (R. Brown’s C. Bellii is one of these in the New Zealand plants), 
eaaedy differentiated except by the presence or absence of the alar cells 
In the European plants, however, it is the more robust C. flecwosus which 
is the more abundant and highly variable species; in the New Zealand plants 
this is more characteristic of C. torquatus. 
C. capillatus would seem to be rare. It occurs, however, in Tasmania 
and Australia; and its apparently limited range in New Zealand may be 
due to its having been confused with C. appressifolius and other species.
