This species, hitherto confined to Seager was detected in 
Cheeseman’s herbarium, under F. cuspidata, by Mr. Sainsbury ; it wa 
collected by Henderson in Waitemata Co., raneee d. 
It has the at erect, symmetric capsule of F. gracilis and F. 
cuspidata, but a much sho rter seta, less than 5 mm.; and the peris- 
tome is quite wan seine’ The most sere character — is 
in the leaves, which are very narrow, much n y than in any 0 
the other species, from a slightly ovate hase narrow ely. laneeolute, finely 
pointed, entire, with the nerve ceasing below the apex.

roper spelling of this should be phar oieiieas as Hampe 
oublished it. The spelling Glyptothecium arose from the copying, by 
Brotherus, of a printer’s error in a footnote of Hampe’s 
p. 290. Pterygophyllum distichophylloides Broth. & Dix. 
The fruit of this was collected, for the first time, by Mr. Sains- 
bury in Sept. 1927. The perichaetial bracts are acute. The seta is 
very thin; the e¢ 
s -6 mm., smooth, an ; the capsule very small, 
horizontal, dark purple-brown, with a distinct swollen ring at the 
neck, and a very long, reddish lid, quite equalling the capsule in 
length.
