Plate XXIV. Jagerinopsis squarrosa E. G. Britton. 
i. Plant, natural size. 2. Part of stem enlarged, showing the clasping base of leaves and 
axillary clusters of propagulae. 3. Alar and basal cells of one leaf, enlarged. 4. Portion of the 
base showing variation in the costae. 5. Apical porose cells of leaf also enlarged. 6. Two of 
the septate brood-bodies. 7. Archegonial bud with small lanceolate perichaetial leaves. 
Habitat: On trees. Conspicuous for the squarrose leaves; known only 
with female inflorescence. 
Type locality: Sierra de las Yeguas, San Diego de los Banos, Pinar del 
Rio, Cuba, ( Jagerinopsis Cubensis n. sp. MS in Hb.), June 28, 1915, South Slope 
of Sierra de los Helechales, Banao Mts., Santa Clara, Bros. Leon and Clement, 
Aug. 1915. Also on Magnolias near Sanford, Florida, S. Rapp. 1917. 
Very closely related to Jagerinopsis scariosum Ltz. from Panama and per- 
haps identical, but the leaves of “ Meteor ium scariosum Ltz.” from Panama are 
described as being “ shortly bicostate .” Our specimens from Cuba and Florida 
are rarely shortly bicostate or they may have the vein forking either at the 
base or the apex, but usually it is single and ending in the middle of the leaf. 
We have had the following note from H. N. Dixon: 
“Mr. Gepp writes: ‘We have in Herb. Hampe some scraps of Neckera 
( Pilotrichella ) scariosa Lorentz, Chiriqui in Panama: M. Wagner, April, 1858. 
Fruct. ignot. [C. Muller’s M. S.].”’
