Hab. On stones in the bed of a torrent, Mahablesh war, Western 
Ghats; alt. circa 4,000 ft., January 1909, leg. Sedgwick. M. Cardot 
sends it to me also gathered by M. Foreau, at Shembaganur, Madura, in 
1911. 
A very distinct species, grooving on stones overflowed by running 
water, and conspicuous by its bright green colour, and rounded, subdis- 
tichous leaves, giving the branches at first sight the appearance of a 
minute Homalia, or of Lejennea serpyllif olia. Other plants — perhaps 
from a less submerged station — have these characters less marked, with 
brown, imbricated leaves of the form first described in the diagnosis. 
Apart from the above characters it differs from its nearest allies, 
T. glossoides. (Bry. jav.) and T. similans (Bry. jav.) in the wider, 
rounder leaves with different basal areolation and finer apical denticula- 
tion. T. lingulcbtum Card, from Formosa has somewhat similarly shaped 
leaves, but is much more robust, and the habit, texture and toothing of 
the leaves are totally different.

Syn. Stereodon subhumilis (c. m.) Mitt. Muse. Ind. or., p. 102. 
Kodikanal^ Upper Palnis ; on trunk of rosebush, alt. 6,700 ft., and 
on banks, alt. 7,000 ft., leg. Fischer, c. fr. (n. 2985, 3076). I have no 
doubt the determination is correct, though I have not compared an 
authenticated plant of C. Muller's. 
51. Rhaphidostegium leptorrhynchoides (Mont.) Jaeg. 
Syn. S tereodon leptorrhynchoides (Mont.) Mitt. Muse. Ind. or , p. 
103. 
In Khun dal as (ravines), Nilgiri Hills, leg. Fischer, c. fr. (n. 22). In 
accordance with Brothers' arrangement I have placed this under Rhaphi- 
dostegium, although I think M. Cardot is probably correct in refer- 
ring it, principally on account of the more or less distinctly papillose cells, 
to Trichosteleum.
