ANACAMPTODON SPLACHNOIDES VAR. TAYLORIAE IN MISSOURI 
Edward B. Chamberlain 
In 1906 Dr. Grout 1 published a new variety, Anacamptodon splachnoides 
(Frol.) Brid., var. Tayloriae Grout, based upon material collected by Mrs. A. P. 
Taylor near Thomasville, Georgia. Through an unfortunate slip of the types, 
the varietal name was spelled “Tyloriae” in the original publication. This 
variety was characterized, in contrast to the species, by “a thinner, almost 
percurrent costa, longer seta, larger capsule, with the operculum barely conic.” 
Judging from the two collections which I have seen, the variety differs also in 
the larger size, and in the longer, broader leaves. 
My attention has been drawn to the variety again, since Rev. C. H. Demetrio 
has recently forwarded to me a specimen collected in Davis Creek Township, 
Lafayette County, Missouri, that matches perfectly the Georgia specimens. 
Dr. Grout has also verified the determination. While this last collection is only 
the second one to be recorded as far as I know, the very great extension of range 
which it represents warrants calling especial attention to it, in order that collectors 
may be more closely on the watch. The species itself is by no means common, 
but is usually so readily recognized in the field that the variety may pass unno- 
ticed in collections. Dr. Grout, in his original article, calls attention to the 
similarity of the variety to the plant previously described as Anacamptodon 
cubensis Sull., and it is to be hoped that those who have access to collections 
from the Southern United States, and particularly from the West Indies, will 
examine them with reference to the variety in question, that the matter of its 
distribution may be settled, and the possible identity of it with the Cuban species 
cleared up. 
MISCELLANEOUS NOTES 
Mr. Chamberlain contributes the following note from Mr. H. N. Dixon, 
regarding Dr. Brotherus, Helsingfors, Finland: “I hear today from Theriot 
that he has just heard from Brotherus, from whom we have heard nothing for 
Bryologist 9 : 44. (1906).
