Although from the longer slender stems with laxer leaves, this has a
distinct appearance, we do not think it has characters sufficient to separate
it from A . crassinervis ; the lamina of the leaf narrows upward and vanishes
more gradually than in that species, of which we prefer to regard it as a
variety, but the specimens were referred by Schimper to A . falcata. A third
closely allied plant from Steiermark, is named by Lindberg A. angustata.

This species must be erased from the list, as it proves to be only a form
of Polytriclmm gracile with fewer lamellae than usual.
