“ So very much does this species resemble B. pyriforme [Campylopus), Schultz, that it may readily be passed
over as a state of that species, having the same soft appearance. The species referred to in the ‘ Flora of New
Zealand ’ as the typical form, gathered hy Professor Jameson iu the Andes of Quito, is a more robust species, with
stiffer, less finely attenuated leaves, and a capsule rough at the base. Bieranum nodosum, Beauv. in Herb. Hook.,
is a much larger Moss, with leaves having a longer base, stouter nerve, and stiffer habit ; it is in all probability
synonymous with Campylopus nivalis, Brid. If Campylopus could be defined so as to distinguish it from Bieranum,
there would be no necessity to alter the name of the present speeies, but it seems impossible to separate tbem in
an extensive herbarium, notwithstanding the difference in the aspect of some of the species ; and there being a
Bieranum pallidum from North America previously published by Bruch and Schimper, an alteration has become
unavoidable.”—Milten, I. c.
