detail, with many good figures. No change is made in the 
nomenclature, except the substitution of the genus Terniola 
Tul. for Lawia, which had already been used as the name of 
a group of Rubiaceæ, now reduced to Adenosachme. 
We now come to Wight’s work,'"' some of which has already 
been mentioned. In his leones he figures and describes 
most of the known Indian species, of which the following 
are new: — 
Dicræa longifolia, Malabar, Rev. E. Johnson. 
stylosa, mountain streams, Malabar, Rev. E. Johnson. 
Mniopsis Johnsonii, rivers in Malabar, Rev. E. Johnson. 
Dalzellia or Tulasnea (Terniola Tul.) foliosa, Lawii, pedunculosa, 
all from Salset rivers, Law. 
D. or T. ramosissima, Malabar near Cochin, Rev. E. Johnson. 
All these and the other Indian species are figured in the 
plates, but very inaccurately ; the relative sizes and shapes of 
the parts are very far from right. 
Beddome, in his Anamalai Plants, f figures and describes 
two further species found in those mountains, Mniopsis 
selaginoides and Dicræa algæformis. 
Thwaites, in his Ceylon Flora, J enumerates the Ceylon 
species already mentioned, and adds Podostemon Gardneri, 
Harv. MS., from waterfalls at Ramboda, with a note to the 
effect that this may possibly prove to be an early stage 
of Hydrobryum oiivaceum, a supposition I have since found 
to be correct. In the addenda to Tulasne’s monograph, a 
doubtful species, Dicræa apicata, from the Nilgiris, is de- 
scribed, and it is suggested that it may be the early stage of 
D. rigida ; I have, however, found it to be that of Hydro- 
bryum griseum, and almost identical with P. Gardner!. 
Kurz,§ from material collected in Martaban by Mr, 
Parish, makes a further new species, Hydrobryum lichen- 
oides.
