Calyptra cucullate. Operculum conic-rostrate. Capsule cylindrical, erect, 
long-pedicellat e. Peristome double; the exterior 16 subulate-lanceolate teeth ; 
a interior 16 cilia shorter than the teeth; and connected at base by a narrow 
n Inflorescence dioecious. — Stems prostrate, sitiaitcwias micro- 
Seite: ihe branches ascending, simple, 2-3 divided or fasciculately ramu- 
ose, with elongated, costate, opaque, granulated leaves ; their areolation minute 
and dot-like. (Name, avopos, irregular, and ddav, tooth, from a supposed abnor-

costa pellucid, ceasing near the apex; annulus double, persistent. — Shad 
rocks, eke Falls; without fruit. (Eu.) 
. A. apiculatus, Br. & Sch. Very near the preceding, rather smaller ;

the ramuli incurved, attenuate; leaves ovate-lanceolate, somewhat obtuse, sats 
secund ; annulus none; peristome well peur the cilia nearly as long as the 
teeth, and with 1-2 interposed ciliole.—On rocks and roots of trees, near 
streams ; common. 0.) 
longifolius, Hartm. Distinguished from the last by its more 
atecninie branches, straighter and longer acuminate leaves, smaller —_ 
shorter pedicel, and much less complete peristome.— Habitat similar: said 
be North American by Schimper. (Eu.)
