in 1902—a specimen of which -1 am inclosing for you to'keep. 
'iho doopereulato capsule in your specimen is about the length 
of tho sots, which would make the opercalate capsule longer. 
She loaves, are long lanceolate, without special tips, and flat 
.margined; these characters together.with habitat are the 
points which land it definitely in that species according to 
B 1 II keys, and it'matches tho Bin fur. illustration very well.
