Caules 3-4-unciales, graciles, erecti, fiexuosi, ramosi, ramis di- 
chotomis, inferne ferrugineo-tomentosi. Folia fusco-lutea, un- 
dique imbricata, erecto-patentia, ovata, anguste tenuiter acu- 
minata, vix sub summo lente serrata, margine incrassata, nervo 
ultra apicem excurrente, instructa. Perigonialia late ovata, 
acuta, enervia, inferne gibbosa, aurantiaca. Sefa breviuscula, 
flexuosa. Capsula spherica, sulcata, arcuato-cernua, 
The first aspect of this Bartramia is very similar indeed to 
that of B. Menziesii, The leaves, however, are shorter, much 
broader and more patent, but far less serrated, if they be serrated 
at all; and, if I have not mistaken a curvature of the fruit-stalk 
in consequence of drying, for a true inflexion, causing a nodding 
capsule, here is an abundantly distinguishing mark, were any 
other needful. In those set which I have immersed in water 
for a considerable length of time, the curvature was even more 
decided than when in a dry state.
