ANDRiEA, in Botany, a very curious and diftinft genus 

 of Moffes, is thus named by Ehrhart, in honour of his friend 

 .loHN Gerhard Reinhard Andrew;. (See that article.) 

 This genus was intended to have been inferted by its author 

 into the Supplemenlam of Linnseus, with the printing of 

 which he was entrufted. (See LinNjEUS, or Vofl Linne', 

 Charles.) Such was the cafe with many others, belong- 

 ing to the fame natural order, and now well-eftabhfhed, 

 though the younger Linnaeus then forbad their admiffion into 

 his book. Ehrhart called it Andreita, but the above ortho- 

 graphy is juftified by many fimilar examples among learned 



botanifts Ehrh. Hannov. Mag. for 1778, 1601; Bie-

EfT. Ch. Capfule of four valves, cohering at the fummit, 

 crowned by the permanent lid. Veil irregulariy torn. 



Ehrhart firft removed this genus from Jungermannia, with 

 which it had been confounded, and properly referred it to 

 the order of Mufci. But he miftook, as he well might, the 

 valves of the capfuk for its fringe or teeth ; an error firft cor- 

 reded by Mr. W. Hooker, who, in the Tranf. of the Linn. 

 Soc, has firft given a juft and clear view of the fubject. Id 

 his Mufcologia Briiannica the fame author remarks, tliat the 

 fuppofed fruu-flalk, as he liimfelf had heretofore called it, 

 is merely an elongated receptacle, bearing fome abortive /j/?/.'/. 

 This is certainly true, but we conceive it neverthelefs to be 

 analogous to the more extended fruit-jlajk of the generahty 

 of Moffes, truly wanting in Sphagnum. All the known 

 fpecies of Andrta are Britifh, and amount to four.

 greener than the former, with which it agrees in the want of 

 a mid-rib ; but differs from it in the tapering, more or lefs 

 curved, leaves. All botanifts confounded this fpecies with 

 the following, till Dr. Roth diftinguilhed them chiefly by 

 the prefence of the mid-rib in that ipecies.
