slightly wider; and the cells remain almost unaltered to the base. The 
leaves vary from shortly acuminate and almost plane to a form with 
finely, almost filiform-acuminate leaves, strongly decurved and falcate, 
almost exactly as in Stereodon cupressiformis. The species appears to 
have a wide geographical range, and I can find no correlation between 
the form of leaf and the distribution. The length of seta and size of 
capsule also show considerable variability. I think there is no doubt that 
the Javan moss issued by Fleischer as E . pseud o-cyperoides Fleisch. n. sp. 
(M. Fr. Arch. Ind., No. 343) belongs to the true E. cyperoides (Hook). 
It is identical with “ E. cyperoides } Ceylon, Gardner, No. 971,” cited by 
Mitten, which in its turn is quite the same as several North Indian 
plants. The Javan plant described under this name in the Bry. jav. 
must, I feel assured, receive another designation ; I have seen no specimens 
agreeing with the figures.

E. cyperoides is described as having the cells occasionally papillose 
with the projecting ends of the upper cell walls, but in this case it is so 
much more highly developed as to seem worthy of varietal distinction . 
The cells are somewhat shorter than in the type in some leaves, but I do 
not find this a sufficiently constant character to be included in the 
diagnosis. The papilloe are somewhat less pronounced in 3 7301 A.

(The former specimen appears to be actually growing on wood as 
would be expected.) I have compared this with Mitten's co-type (no. 
1038, Hooker) in the British Museum.
