named Andreas, who was cited honorably by Pliny. This remarkable genus differs from ali other mosses, In 
having a theca which splits into four valves, cohering at their ends by means of the persistent lid ; it agrees 
with Sphagnum in having no fruitstalk, but in its room an elongated receptacle, and appears to be a transition 
from Musci to Hepatica>. This is, however, only a])parent. All the species are natives of rocks or mountains, 
and are remarkable fcr their nearly black or dark inown color.
