Tortilla (. Barbnld ) campylocarpa Taylor. Unduavi, 8000 ft. 
October, 1885 (3127). 
Compared with Spruce Musci Am. et And. nos. 185 and 201, 
agrees with specimens at Kew and has been verified by Bescherelle. 
Also compared with T. rectifolia Taylor, nos. 193-196, Spruce, 
from which it differs in its larger size and longer, more acuminate 
leaves. 
Barbula austro-revoluta Besch. mss. Near La Paz, 10000 ft. 
April, 1885 (3129). 
Plants in dense light yellowish-green or slightly glaucous, and 
dirty tufts; stems 1-2 cm. high with numerous, slender, subapical 
branches; leaves erect-spreading when moist, spirally twisted 
around the stem when dry, small, 1 mm. or less long, with strongly 
revolute margins and a broad, thick, yellow vein, ending in and 
forming the blunt apex ; lower cells oblong, clear; upper smaller, 
denser and papillose; dioecious (?), perichetial leaves with a 
longer, more hyaline, clasping base. Pedicels light yellow, 5-7 
mm. long; capsule 2 mm.; lid conic-beaked,cells spirally formed ; 
peristome immature. 
Closely related to no. 1622 of Mandon’s Bolivian Mosses, col¬ 
lected in April, 1856, near Sorata, and labelled B . glaucescens in 
Herb. Schimper, but differing in the shorter, more blunt leaves, 
the more revolute margins, and in the yellow pedicel. Bescherelle 
says of it, “B. revoluta affinis sed foliis magis obtusa acuminatis 
glaucescentibus cucullatis; pedicello flavo, peristomio longe 
distat.” 
Tortula ( Syntrichia ) sp.? Near Yungas, 4000 ft., 1885 (3124). 
Unduavi, 8000 feet. October, 1885 (3125 and 3127 pp). 
Plants in dirty, yellowish-brown tuffs; stems 1-1.5 cm. high, 
branching ; much abraded and discolored below; leaves erect-ap- 
pressed when dry, tufted on the stems, upper, green with white 
hair-points, the vein papillose on back, and excurrent into a rough 
awn, apex rounded, margins involute ; upper ceils densely papil¬ 
lose, low ? er, clear and hyaline. Dioecious? Seta 10-12 mm. long, 
red below, twisted; capsule narrowdy cylindric, 1 mm. long, 
straight or slightly arcuate when old, with a long-exserted colu¬ 
mella; mouth small, annulus narrow, falling in fragments when 
old; peristome short or broken, twisted from a short basal mem¬ 
brane ; teeth pale, papillose. 
These plants were compared with several of Mandon’s Plantae 
Andes Boliviensium, but their alliance was not determined by me 
while at Kew, nor by M. Bescherelle, to whom they were subse¬ 
quently submitted.
