EXCLUDED SPECIES. 
M. sulcatum Brid—Recorded with doubt in the Handbook (“ var. £, 
leaves less acuminate, scarcely undulate, probably a different aged 
Northern I., Colenso. A doubtful determination. ”) The only specim 
Hooker’s herbarium at Kew is labelled “ M. sulcatum. N. Zid. Sin clair,” 
in Mitten’s hand. This is certainly M. sulcatum, but the specimen is 
undoubtedly wrongly labelled. The Macromitrium is closely interwoven 
with two other plants, a Campylopus and a species of Diaphanodon, 
the latter a frequent genus in south India (the home of M. sulcatum), but 
unknown in New Zealan 
M. Spent Loan (Hook. & Grev.) Brid., Fl. N.Z., ii, 78; Handb. N.Z 
Fl., p. 430.—The specimens in Hooker's herbarium (co oll. Hooker and 
Logan) are M. Weymouthii Broth. Colenso’s and Kerr’s are not represented, 
but no Soon belonged to the same plant. M. recurvifolium is a Javan

- N.Z. it 30.—‘‘ Bay of Islands. Logan. A doubtful plant. i is New 
Zealand Eis occur at Kew. It must certainly be dropped from the 
New Zealand flora. 
M. incurvifolium Schwaegr., Suppl. ; Fl. N.Z., ii, 79; Handb. N.Z. Fl., 
431.—‘‘ Dusky Bay. Menzies.” No doubt, as suggested in the Hand- 
tone. an error in recording the locality. 
M. hemitrichodes Schwaegr., Suppl., t. 193; Fl. N.Z. ii, 79; Handb. 
N.Z. Fl., p. 431.—*‘ Northern e Logan.” The sees in herb. Hook. 
is marked “H. 595. 2? M. hemitrichodes var.” It has a naked, not hairy 
calyptra. It is certainly uM Weymouthii Broth. The Australasian 
M. hemitrichodes is very closely allied to some of the New Zealand 
species, but I have seen no specimens that seem referable to it. 
I mum Schwaegr., Handb. N.Z. Fl., p. 431.—All the so-named 
specimens at =e belong to M. Weymouthu Broth. 
M. piliferum Schwaegr., Handb. N.Z. Fl., p. 432.—A Pacific species, 
certainly to be excluded. 
M. abbreviatum Mitt., MS. in herb.—I have as authentic speci- 
mens of this from the New York Bot. Garden, and have also examined 
Mitten’s specimens at Kew. Some of these belong to M. erosulum Mitt. 
and some to M. egr. 
M. barbatum Mitt:, MS. in Herb. Kew., is M. eucalyptorum. 
M. Knightii Schimp, MS. in herb., and M. clavatum Schimp., MS. in 
herb., are I. longipes. 
M. rigidum Schimp., MS. in herb., is M. orthophyllum. 
M. laevigatum Schimp., MS. in herb., is Schlotheimia Brown Brid. 
M. perpapillosum Broth., MS. in sched., herb. Beckett, is M. erosuium. 
M. scabrum Broth., MS. in sched., herb. Beckett, is a strongly papillose 
form of M. grossirete. 
M. tasmanicum Broth., in sched., “forma, N.Z., Rev. Colenso, 4096, 
det. Brotherus,” agrees with the spiral- -leaved forms of M. Weymouthii 
exactly, except that the single calyptra is sparsely hairy. It is ne: I 
think, left doubtful.
