LEPTOBRYUM PYRIFORME (L.) WILSON, WITH GEMMAE 
A. J. Grout 
Fig. 1 — Leptotryum pyriforme with gemmae. Plants from Miami 
University. x 10 
In January last C. A. Richards, of Miami University, sent me a moss from 
one of their greenhouses that bore numerous brood bodies in the axils of the 
leaves. “The plants grew on a loose sandy soil with which some cinders had 
been mixed. They were very plentiful, but did not grow in tufts as most mosses- 
do. The stalks were more or less separated.” 
A careful study of the plants showed them to be L. pyriforme. So far as. 
I know this state of the species has not been recorded in North America before, 
although it has been described by Correns and other European botanists and 
our own Mr. Heald.
