Hedwigidium imberbe Sm. Unduavi, 1000 ft. (3152) Sterile. 
Mapiri, 5000 ft. with 3154a fertile. 
Compared with G. Mandon Plantae Andeum Boliviensium 
Exsicc., no., 1638 vicinius Sorata, labelled Harrisonia rhabdoccupa 
Hpe. with which it agrees. As also with Lindig’s New Granada, 
no. 2000. Both of these are considered to be H. imberbe Sm. 
(Mitt. J. L. Soc. 12: 405). The plants mixed with 3154a are 
coarser and brighter green, agreeing better with Spruce Musci 
Am. et. And., nos. 1293-1295, of H. imberbe . There is consider¬ 
able variation in the size and color of this species, also in the de¬ 
gree of ramification of the stems and the appression of the leaves, 
but otherwise the leaves are indistinguishable when placed side by 
side under the same cover-glass under the microscope. Wed¬ 
dell’s no. 9 Peru, are small, little over 1 cm. high and almost sim¬ 
ple like 3152 H. H. R., while Spruce no. 1295 and Rusby’s 3154a 
are nearly 6 cm. high and quite pinnately branched. 
Cryphaea (Eucryphaea) Boliviana Sch. mss. Mandon (no, 
1688), vicinius Sorata, 3200 metr., 1857. H. H. Rusby. 
Sorata, 10000 ft. 1886(3165). 
Plants large, slender; stems bipinnate, 10-15 cm. long, 
branches pendant, 5-6 cm. long, branchlets few and distant, 
I—1.5 cm. long; leaves spreading when dry, those of the 
branches 2 mm. long, those of the branchlets only about I 
mm. long, both lanceolate-acuminate, vein ending below the 
long subulate, serrate apex, margins entire below, slightly 
recurved in the middle; basal angles auricled, decurrent. Cap¬ 
sules two or three together at intervals along the branches, 
perichetial leaves with a broad, clasping base covering the capsule, 
vein scarcely extending below the long nearly smooth awn, 
exceeding the base in length. Capsules 2 mm. long ; peristome 
double, the outer of long, spreading, broad teeth, the inner of 
shorter, narrower segments, composed of a double row of papil¬ 
lose cells, attached to a basal membrane. 
Allied to C. pilifera Mitt., and possibly referable to that spe¬ 
cies, but recognized also by Muller as a new species, Schimper’s 
name having priority.
