Weisia mucro?iata B. & S., Bramfield, Herts., 12/02. H.T). “ A 
mixture in most cases, in about equal proportions, of W. mucronata 
and W. microstoma v. brachycarpa forma. The W. viicrostoma may 
be distinguished from the other by the asymmetric caps., with a much 
smaller mouth which, moreover, is not reddish, as is the case with 
W. mucronata. The different season at which the capsules mature 
is also of assistance in distinguishing the species. W. microstoma 
ripens its caps, in the Spring, while W. mucronata may be found 
with mature caps, in the depth of Winter. The difference in 
maturity is very marked in the plants under notice. The two plants 
have no doubt been considered identical on account of their 
plane margined leaves, but the var. brachycarpa of W. ?nicrosto 77 ia 
is described by Limpricht as having plane margined leaves. A 
similar plant is sent by Mr. Linton, and I have followed him in 
calling the present plant W. microstoma v. brachycarpa forma, as 
although it appears to be identical with the var. as described by 
Limpricht, a different plant is described and figured under that 
name in the Bry. Eur. It may be added that Limpricht does not 
cite the Bry. Eur. ‘ brachycarpum ’ as a synonym.”—W.E.N. ;
