I have described and figured this species fully in the publications 
cited above, and need not go wa: it further here. It is one of the 
most interesting members of t .Z. moss-flora, as being not only a 
very distinct monotypic genus, ries also as being endemic, and more- 
over at present confined to a Pi district (Wairarapa) in the Nor- 
thern I.; was pee men, on Say by Colenso; and recently 
by W. Gray; and it was not later eatherin ngs had been 
déseritiod i published “that ‘hake renitiy with the species of H. f. 
. Was recognized.* 
It is rather curious that Colenso’s plant was in fruit, Be no te 
ence is made to the terminal bunches of tthidl : Sides in Gray 
plants the gemmae are very numerous and co teubHs, while he 
fruit was only found sacinialy and afte diligent search. It is a 
corticolous plant.

A plant with rather the habit of Cryphaea, or of a slender Cyrto- 
; known at once 
(3-5mm.) and the eapsule ey plieate when dry. The leaves 
are rather rigidly divarieate when dry, as well as orek moist. The 
branches tend to curl at the tips in the dry state, whence the specific 
name; but this is not a constant character. 
It occurs in both Islands, and is probably not uncommon.

One of the finest and most distinet ve the N.Z. mosses, and endemic 
in the Island. The robust, terete, somewhat vermicular Mpa with 
the closely arranged, br oad, pliecate ane with obtuse iculus 
strongly reflexed, and the elongate, suleate capsule, are like so uae
