E. monoica ; foliis oblongo-lanceolatis et elongato-spathulatis convolutis 

 pajoillosis evaiiido-costatis ; capsula gymnostoma cylindracea sicca 8-10 

 sulcata; calyptra iota superficie papillosa ; flore masculo monophyllo. 



Hab. Sides of Mauna Kea, Hawaii ; banks of the crater Haleakala, 

 East Maui ; Sandwich Islands. 



Densely csespitose. Stems about 1 inch high, sparingly branched, 

 radiculose. Leaves soft, oblong-lanceolate, and elongate-spathulate, 

 convolute, margins crenulate by the protuberant cellules, which in the 

 upper part of the leaf are hexagonal-rotund, rather large and papillu- 

 lose; costa vanishing considerably below the apex. Capsule cylindri- 

 cal, when dry contracted at the mouth and showing 8-10 straight 

 longitudinal furrows, slightly apophysate. Peristome absent. Calyp- 

 tra papillose on its whole exterior surface, more strongly so above. 

 Male flower usually with only one perigonial leaf. 



The absence of a peristome, the ribbed capsule, and the papillose 

 calyptra, are the distinctive marks of this species.
