This large and remarkable species was found by me in 

 great abundance in a swampy gravelly spot, occasioned 

 by a large spring, forming beautiful green patches more 

 than a foot in diameter. The color is a dark green — the 

 substance very brittle. The pcricarpium splits twistingly. 

 and is upwards of one and a half inches long, with a caly?v 

 or vagina one-eighth of an inch high. The surface of the 

 irons quite smooth.

Found among Sphagnum, in hogs, rarely. I am doubt- 

 ful whether it belongs to the Genus, from the different , 

 habit of the simple Irons. It is small, and, at first sight, 

 appears a single shoot of June. quiitqjjefida. From the 

 middle rib, on both sides, a thin greenish purple Irons 1 

 tends in various shaped lobes, obtusely pointed, so as al- 

 most to approach the shape of leaves With plicate loh 

 At the end a pericarpium, as long as the frons, perfect! \ 

 like that of an Anthoceros, rises perpendicular from a verj 

 11 globular vagina. The Irons is undivided, (in one 

 instance I found it dichotomous,) and not above half an 

 : — upr Hue broad, or two at 'J'
