opposite to those of the outer, is further remarkable in these teeth lying horizontally over the mouth of the 
theca. In the male flowers of Hedwig, the succulent filaments are remarkabl / clavate, jointed, pellucid, the 
joints containing greenish granules. Funaria hibemica has been found only on the roof of a thatched cottage 
at Blarney, near Cork, Ireland. The long flexuose fruitstalk of F. hygrometrica, one of the commonest of 
mosses m almost every situation, possesses strong hygrometrical qualities. 
2238. Bartramia. So called in honor of John Bartram, an Anglo-American, to whose researches in North 
America the gardens of Europe owe many of their finest trees. He had a son William, who published in 
177J, an account of a journey in the interior of North America. This is an elegant genus of mosses, remark- 
K * /'^ ^^^^^ ^"^ capillary light green leaves, and spherical capsules. The genus approaches nearly to Bryum, 
but differs in almost every species having a spherical capsule ; and the sixteen broad segments of the inner 
P^^stome, instead of being entire or only perforated, are cleft like the teeth of a Dicranum 
2239. Pohlia. Named in honor of I. E. Pohl, a German botanist. Small plants, often refered to Bryum, 
with which they entirely agree in habit. - ' •> > 
2240. Bryum. One of the ancient Greek names of moss. These are all dwarf plants producing capsules in 
abundance, and generally found growing in wet places. In B. palustre are found terminal capitular bodies, 
wnicn much resemble what are called the anthers of B. androgynum ; but in B. palustre they are considered 
gemm®, and arise not only from the main stems, but also from the innovations. B. triquetrum has only been
