The genus Anictangiiim of Hedwig i is founded upon the axil- 
lary situation of the anthers, taken in conjunction with the naked 
mouth of the capsule ; characters theses not easily to be discovered, 
and which, according to those species which have been taken into 
that genus by Schwaegrichen, compose a most unnatural assem- 
blage.—Six species out of the ten enumerated by the e last-men- 
tioned author, are indeed universally allowed to belong to othe 
genera. My friend Dr. ‘aylor and myself have ventana! to ea 
pose other characters for this genus, taken from he calyptra 
conjunction with the insertion of the fruitstalk ; a hae 1 
have every reason to be sati h these hiske. They have 
certainly the advantage of | being more readily discerned then tikes 
of Hedwig, and the species which of bring together, as far as 
Tam yet acquainted with -_ do

The species here under Pies Pos has its fructification very 
similar to a Humboldtian plant which remains yet to be figured 
in this work, but from which in its foliage it is abundantly di- 
stinct. fadeed the stems and leaves of H. Hornschuchiana, when 
seen with the naked eve, are more like those of Bartramia Hal- 
leriana than those of any plant I know
