from Mexican material, was recently recorded from Cuba by the writer, 1 so that 
the extension of its range into subtropical Florida was not wholly unexpected. 
Mr. Rapp’s specimens are in excellent condition and show both perianths and 
antheridial branches. The inflorescence is clearly autoicous. 
6. Taxilejeunea obtusangula (Spruce) Evans, Bull. Torrey Club 38 : 
215. pi. 10. 1911. Lejeunea ( Taxi-Lejeunea ) obtusangula Spruce, Hep. Amaz. 
et And. 221. 1884. 
Collected in December, 1913, at Robinson Spring, eight miles south of San- 
ford, Florida , in a hammock, at base of tree, by S. Rapp (No. 70) mixed with a 
poorly developed Plagiochila, probably referable to P. fioridana Evans. The 
range of this species is very incompletely known. It was originally described 
from specimens collected by Spruce in the vicinity of Para, Brazil, and has lately 
been recorded by the writer from two localities in New Providence, one of the 
Bahama Islands. No other stations have as yet been definitely reported. The 
genus Taxilejeunea has not before been recorded from the United States. 
7. Crossotolejeunea bermudiana Evans, Bull. Torrey Club 33 : 132. 
pi. 6. 1906. 
Collected at the following two stations in Florida: on decayed palmetto, 
New Hawkinsville, in May, 1912, by S. C. Hood (Nos. 37 & 43)', on bark, in Up- 
sala Swamp, Sanford, in May, 1913, by S. Rapp (No. 65). Both genus and spe- 
cies new to the United States. Hitherto known from B3rmuda only and supposed 
to be endemic to the island. The original material, collected at Flatts, by W. R. 
Coe, grew on the ground and on rocks; the specimens collected by E. G. Britton 
at Paynter’s Vale apparently grew on an organic substratum, but unfortunately 
the label throws no light on the matter. The species has since been discovered, 
however, on a dead stump at the mouth of a cave, Harrington House, by S. Brown 
(No. 555), in February, 1908, so that the occurrence of the Florida specimens on 
bark is not surprising. Both sets of specimens, which were determined provi- 
sionally by Miss Haynes and Mr. Rapp respectively, agree closely with the 
material from Bermuda. The underleaves, however, show a somewhat more 
marked tendency to be unidentate on the sides, and there is a greater prevalence 
of teeth two cells long on the wings of the perianths. 
8. Leucolejeunea xanthocarpa (Lehm. & Lindenb.) Evans, Torreya 7 : 
229. 1908; Bull. Torrey Club 35 : 172. pi. 7 , f. 12-23. 1908. 
Collected on tree trunks in a hammock, at De Leon Spring, Florida, by S. 
Rapp, in May, 1913 (No. 66). A widely distributed species in tropical America 
and also reported from several localities in Africa. L. xanthocarpa was first 
recorded from the United States by Austin, but, as the writer 2 has already pointed 
out, this record was based on an incorrect determination, the plants in question 
belonging to L. unciloba (Lindenb.) Evans, Archilejeunea Sellowiana Steph. 
being a synonym. Mr. Rapp’s specimens, therefore, represent the first definite 
record for the true L. xanthocarpa from the United States.
