An almost ctetineiai moss in temperate regions, and a very beautiful 
in 
are large, the lower ovate-lanceolate, the comal much narrower and woes 
capsule large, cylindrical-oblong. It is a plant of the mountains, and n 
doubt of frequent occurrence, though I have not seen it from the North 
Island.

Another equally cosmopolitan and even commoner species, and at the 
same time a far more variable one than P. cruda; but quite easily recog- 
form of the capsule. There is especially much variability in the _— 
of the seta, and the ene pis perhaps deserves varietal ran

In marshes, often with the type, org usually showing a great variability 
in the length of the seta, so that it is difficult to fix the limits of the 
variety: it may reach 5-6 cm

I have not seen this species, but from the description it should be 
distinct from P. nutans in the small size, rather lax and pellucid ao pai 
the minute clavate-oblong Mig 20 with very dehuate endostome and 
rudimentary cilia. Mueller describes it as synoicous; Brotherus places 
it under the paroicous spelen.
