REVIEW OF LITERATURE 
In the Kew Bulletin 1 there has recently appeared a note on a long obscure 
moss name. Inasmuch as the Bulletin is not so readily accessible to most mem- 
bers, we reprint the note in full: 
“Chatubinskia, Rehmann.— During his travels in South Africa in 1875 
to 1877, Dr. Rehmann collected a large number of mosses and hepaticae, which 
he distributed in sets accompanied by printed labels bearing details as to the 
habitat and in most cases also the determination. Amongst the mosses were 
many proposed new species, of which descriptions were not published at the 
time, but this was done in some cases by Dr. Carl Mueller in Hedwigia, xxxviii, 
pp. 52-155 (1899), while others were merely enumerated in the Revue Bryologique 
1878, pp. 69-71, and in General Paris’ Index Muscorum, but up to the present 
time no general list of this valuable collection has appeared. No. 595, collected 
in the Transvaal, was regarded by Rehmann as a new genus, for which he pro- 
posed the name Chatubinskia africana, which up to the time of the recent issue 
of T. R. Sim’s Handbook of the Bryophyta of South Africa (p. 199) had been 
neither described nor identified. The specimen at Kew shows that this is not 
a moss, but the almost cosmopolitan hepatic, Herberta juniperina, Spruce, 
in Trans. Bot. Soc. Edinb., xv, p. 342 (1885); Jungermannia juniperina Sw. FI. 
Ind. Occ., p. 1855 (1806); Schisma juniper inum, Dmrt. Comm. Bot., p. 114 
(1822); Sendtner a juniperina, Nees in Gott., Lindenb. et Nees, Syn. Hepat., 
p. 239 (1844F 
The locality given on Rehmann’s label is: “Transvalia; in silvis primaevis 
mont. Lechlaba in latere meridionali in summi montis Snellskop ad arborum 
truncos.”
