E. seductrix minus Aust. Mss. in herb. Entire plant much

E. seductrix Demetrii (Ren. & Card.) Grout. {Entodon 

 Demetrii^zn. & Card. Rev. Bry. 20: 14. 1893.) Stems irregu- 

 larly divided and branched, strongly complanate- foliate, slender, 

 having almost exactly the facies of E. compressus; leaves ovate, 

 gradually acute, very entire. Peristomal teeth often irregularly 

 perforate. On stones at top of well, Emma, Saline county, Mo. , 

 Rev. C. H. Demetrio.

F. i'atula Card. Distinguished from F. antipyretica L. by 

 the leaves straight or little curved upon the keel and very open, 

 by the narrower subcylindric capsule and by the more elongated 

 peristomal teeth with more numerous lamellae. The form of the 

 capsule approaches that of F. Kindbergii Ren. and Card., from 

 which it is distinguished at first sight by the non-cuspidate leaves, 

 shortly and broadly acuminate and not presenting so clearly 

 marked dimorpnism. Vaucouver, Macoun. 



F. Missourica Card. This species reminds one strongly of 

 F. biformis Sulliv., but it is easily distinguished by its more per- 

 sistent and longly acuminate cauline leaves with more compact 

 tissue and by its less folded branch leaves, which are a little con- 

 cave at the base, by the infolding of the borders, but not canili- 

 culate. On rocks floating in the creeks, Benton county, Mo., 

 Rev. C. H. Demetrio. 



F. Waghornei Card. Belonging to the group of F. Novse- 

 Anglise Sulliv., but clearly distinguished from other described 

 species by having the leaves nearly entire at the summit, the cap- 

 sule half emergent, its peristome higher and strongly papillose, 

 with its lattice nearly or quite perfect. F. involuta of Louisiana 

 and Florida approaches it most closely, but is more slender, with 

 narrower leaves ordinarily denticulate at summit, and capsule 

 immersed. Trinity Bay and Witters Bay, Newfoundland, Rev. 

 A. C. Waghorne.
