Has. In plaga occidentali Americe septentrionalis, D. Menzies, 
1792. 
Caules 3-4-pollicares, graciles, erecti, flexuosi, simplices vel sub- 
dichotomo-divisi, inferne tomento ferrugineo dense obsiti, 
Folia arcte imbricata, erecta, appressa, stricta, flavo-viridia, e 
basi lanceolata longe subulata, apicem versus precipue serrata, 
margine inferne recurvo, nervo angusto, distincto. Sete de- 
mum Jaterales, semiunciam long, erecte. Capsula spherica. 
Neque operculum neque peristomium vidi. 
This very distinct species of Bartramia was named in honour 
of its discoverer, by Mr. Turner, in a most excellent paper on the 
genus, published in the first volume of the Annals of Botany. 
Hitherto it seems but little understood by the continental bo- 
tanists, Schwaegrichen only placing it among his doubtful or lit- 
tle known species, and observing that ‘ habitu similis B. gra- 
cili,’ (B. G2deri.) From this latter, and indeed every other, 
this plant may be readily distinguished by its long slender stems, 
and appressed leaves which are broad at the base and lanceolate, 
and which terminate in a long narrow subulate point.
