the mouth is small and surrounded by 3-4 rows of darker, denser 
cells. In E. apiculatus Sch., no. 1646 of Mandon, the lid of the 
capsule is beaked, not flattened as in our specimens,and the leaves 
are not subulate pointed. 
Funaria hygrometrica (L.) Sibth. Near Yungas, 4000 ft., 1885 
(3132a). 
Growing mixed with Brymn argenteum var. lanatum . 
Funaria calvescens Schwaegr. Near Yungas, 4000-6000 ft., 
1885 (3133a); Unduavi, 8000 ft., Oct., 1885 (3133b). 
Funaria incurvifolia C. Muller, n. sp. Near La Paz, 10000 ft., 
Oct., 1885 (3132). 
Plants 1-2 cm., pale straw-yellow; stems often several together, 
2-5 mm. high; leaves rosulate, 2-2.5 mm. long, incurved, carinate- 
cucullate; vein yellow, ending in the acuminate, incurved apex; 
margins with a narrow border of 1 row of elongated cells, entire 
or faintly subserrulate; cells of the basal angles large, swollen. 
Dioecious; seta 5-10 mm. long, pale yellow and twisted; capsule 
small, 1.5-2 mm., oblique-pyriform; annulus large, compound, 
falling with the blunt lid; teeth with projecting cross-bars; inner 
peristome present, of short slender segments. 
Belonging to the section of F. hygrometrica with which it was 
compared; differs in being smaller with incurved, more hyaline 
leaves, the cells with thinner walls. 
Both F. hygrometricoides Sch. (Mandon, no. 1648) and F. 
Mandoni Sch. (Mandon, no. 1647) have shorter, blunt leaves, 
with cells more lax and thicker walled, and the vein ending 
below the apex with the marginal cells more swollen. 
Philonotis asperrima C.M., n. sp. Sorata, 10000 ft. (3140). 
Plants small; stems matted with brown tomentum, branches 
short, less than 5 mm. long, numerous ; leaves of two kinds, those 
of the main stems with a long subulate tip, a dark excurrent vein 
and serrate, revolute margins, with clear, rectangular cells; branch 
leaves smaller, the upper part of the leaf very spinose, the vein 
ending in the shorter, acuminate apex, margins plane or slightly 
recurved, sharply serrate; lower cells quadrate, smoother and 
clearer than in the upper ones. Dioecious. Perichetical leaves, 
broad, hyaline, and clasping at base, with a long subulate apex. 
Pedicels short, 1 cm.; capsules globose, 1.5-2 mm., oblique, strongly 
ribbed; lid mamillate, appressed; peristome double, endostome 
shorter than the teeth, mouth bordered by 4-6 rows of darker 
denser cells.
