195. H. Coloradense, Aust. Plants robust; stems erect
or at length prostrate, compressed, sparingly branched: leaves
erect, appressed-imbricate, not changed iu drying, oblong-ovate,
concave, abruptly piliferous at the often recurved apex; mai-
gins entire or subserrate, scarcely recurved at the somewhat
narrowed and rounded base; angles excavated; cells less narrow,
neai-ly straight and uniform except at the very base, where they
are shorter and slightly inflated, oval or roundish, but not more
pellucid. — Coult. Bot. Gaz. ii. 111.
H a b . Colorado (Ulss H. J. Biddlecome).
Differs from Myurium Herjedalicum, Schimp. (Syn. 696), in the compressed
stem, and tlie leaves subplicate, somewhat rounded at base, and
the margin scarcely recurved below. The reticulation of the leaf suggests
a Camptothecium, the pilum at the apex is much as in Eurhynchium
piliferum, while the general habit of the plant is that of Ehynchostegium.

Tbiciiostomum Coi-oiía d en se , Austin. Plants small, greenish brown;
stem slender, subflexuous, i to 1 c.m. long; lower leaves remote, the
upper close together, open-incurved, linear, convolute their whole length,
acute, minutely granulose-papillose; areolation minute and obscure, subpellucid
at base; borders plane, very entire, thin, subpellucid at tbe apex,
sometimes nilniitely serrate; costa enlarged at base, flat, very thin,
scarcely distinguishable from the lamina above tbe middle and vanishing
much below the apex. — Coult. Bot. Gaz. 11. 90.
As remarked by Watson (Bot. Calif, ii. 367), this species is based upon
specimens without fruit, and the genus therefore undeterminable. The
name of the collector is also uncertain, and the specific name a misnomer,
as the moss is not known from Colorado. Austin states that it was
collected in Yosemite Valley by a Mr. James (probably B. W. James).

C r y p h æ a u s t u n d a t a , Nees. Stems pendulous, loosely pinnately
branched; branchlets recurved at the apex: leaves distant, oblong-lanceolate,
carinate, the lower ones complicate, oblique; costa stout, excurrent:
capsule oval, unilateral on the stems, immersed in tbe long ecostate perichætial
leaves: cilia of the inner peristome red, persistent, incurved at the
apex, as long as the teeth. — Pflanz. Maxim, von Wied, 27; Sulliv.

H a b . Floating in water and attached to immersed branches of trees,
Wabash, Fox, and Black Rivers, Illinois (Maxim, von Wied).
As far as can be judged from the insufficient description, this moss is
referable to Dichelyma subulatum or D. capillaceum.
