. Passiflora incarnata!—The three clavate styles radiate outward, 
curving downward so as to bring their bilobed brown stigmas 
between the anthers, though they. usually stand a little higher 
and farther from the center of the flower. From the action of 
bees and wasps, nectar appears to be secreted between the inner 
row of short filaments, and the base of the column. Large and 
small bees and wasps visit these flowers and alighting on the 
colored corona creep in beneath the anthers and insert their 
ownward, on the anthers, and often touch the stigmas.” Daw-

A NEW Species oF, Moss.—I send you the description of a new 
Species of moss which has. been named by Monsieur Renauld, of 
Tarbes, France, an eminent bryologist. In my studies of Ameri- 
can mosses I came across two species which seemed to be un- 
described. This is one of them: 
Hypnum (Amblystegium) Barderi, Renauld, species nova.— 
Monoicum, dense cæspitosum. Caulis erectus 2-4 cent. longus 
rufo radiculosus subpinnatim ramulosus ramuli sæpe eruti fastigiati. 
Folia erecta, parva (14—1™™ longa) lanceolata sensim acutata, de- 
culi parvuli numerosi, 4-8 antheridia. Perichætium radicans, 
lia externa ecostata apice recurva interna majores erecta tenuiter 
costata margine sinuosa. Capsula in pedicello purpureo lævi 
3-4 cent. longo, suberecta, vix curvata, collo distincto instructa. 
Operculum convexo-conicum apiculatum et sæpe rostellatum. An- 
_ Pulus angustus simplex. Peristomium magnum, pallide luteum, 
membrana basilaris elata, processus subintegri. Cilia . . . -?
