18 CRTPTOGAMIA. 



In the collection are a few barren stems of two other species of 

 Galymperes ; one collected on Carlshoff Island, Paumotu Group, is 

 probably G Motleri, Mitten in Bryol. Javan. p. 48, t. 38 ; the other 

 from Tongatabu, and also from Carlshoff Island, accords well with G. 

 Molluceensis, Schwgegr. Suppl. t. 127.

S. procerum ramosum ; ramis elongatis flexuosis ; foliis e basi erecta 

 arnplexante incurvo-patentissimis linear ibus longissimis canaliculatis 

 subtortilibus incrassato-limbatis siqierne serratis apice abrupte brevi- 

 angustatis costa valida apice expansa et excavata percursis. 



Hab. Tahiti, Society Islands. 



A large species, growing in loose olive-green tufts. Stems divided 

 near the base, ascending nexuous, 2J-4 inches high; branches and 

 leaves when dry subcircinnate. Leaves linear, narrow, 4-5 lines long, 

 spreading, moderately incurved, from a short erect amplexicaul base, 

 canaliculate, slightly twisted, serrate above, abruptly narrowed near 

 the apex, surrounded by an opaque costa-like border, which in the 

 sheathing part of the leaf is intramarginal ; costa terete, percurrent, 

 its apex discolored, expanded, and excavated, the seat probably of 

 confervoid filaments, which, in our specimens, have fallen away. The 

 sheathing part of the leaf is composed of large oblong pellucid cellules ; 

 the rest of the leaf is firm and opaque, consisting of minute, greenish, 

 granular subquadrate cellules closely arranged in lines.
