17. Calypogeia andicola Bischler, Candollea 18: 79. /. 25. 1962. 



Calypogeia colombica S. Arnell, in Hb. 



Plants of medium size, turgid, creeping, dark green, in mats or scattered among 

 other bryophytes; stems to 5 cm long, with leaves, 1.5-2 mm wide, rarely branched, 

 the branches leafy, ventral-intercalary from the axils of the underleaves. Rhizoids 

 frequent, long, in tufts from the bases of the underleaves. Line of leaf insertion 

 oblique, curved over the stem at the upper end. Leaves imbricate, oblong-ovate, the 

 apex broad, obtuse or mucronate, to 1.0 mm long, 0.7 mm wide, the dorsal base 

 curved, the ventral base not decurrent; cells of the upper part of the leaf hexagonal, 

 30-42 X 30-42 fi, the walls thin, without trigones, the cuticle smooth. Underleaves 

 scarcely broader than the stem, small, subquadrate to transversely orbicular, the 

 line of insertion curved, decurrent, bifid to one-half, the segments triangular, with- 

 out lateral teeth, the sinus broad, U-shaped, the cells longer than broad, thin-walled. 

 Male and female inflorescences and sporophyte not seen.

18. Calypogeia uncinulatula Herzog, Hedwigia 67: 250. 1927. 



Plants of medium size, light green to yellow-green, in depressed mats or among 

 other bryophytes; stems to 5 cm long, with leaves to 2.5 mm broad, sparingly 

 irregularly branched; branches leafy, ventral-intercalary from the axils of the 

 underleaves. Rhizoids in brownish tufts from the bases of underleaves. Leaf 

 insertion oblique. Leaves not bordered, approximate, widely spreading, ascendant 

 on the branches, ovate, the apex narrowed, bifid, the teeth triangular from a 2- 

 to 4-celled base, ending in a 2-celled tip, the dorsal margin scarcely curved at the 

 base, the ventral margin scarcely decurrent; cells of the upper part of the leaf small, 

 hexagonal, 26-34 X 26 /x, the walls thin, the trigones small, the cuticle essentially 

 smooth. Underleaves distant, scarcely decurrent, small, as broad as the stem, bifid 



4 The species suggests small plants of C. peruviana in both the cellular detail of the leaves 

 and the deep set insertion of the underleaves. It differs from that species in having most leaf- 

 apices undivided and the bifid underleaves without a conspicuous lateral tooth or hump on one 

 or both sides.
