I had several times received specimens of this moss from my 
liberal friend Mr. Dickson, but without any precise habitat; I 
was therefore particularly glad to be supplied with it again from 
Mr. Hobson of Manchester, along with some other cryptogamie 
plants sent to him from the vicinity of Paramatta, New South 
Wales. It accords well with the character of Leucodon, (except 
indeed in the colour of the teeth, which only proves the badness 
of the name,) and will arrange naturally with L. calycinus and 
LL. rugosus.
