Small mosses with short slightly branched steins ; leaves from an
oval base, abruptly subulate, channelled, w ith th e margin plane and
nerve broad, flattened and indistinct below. C ap su le when empty
plicato-stria te, leptodermous, e re c t or suberect, regula r or slightly
oblique, the cells o f the exothecium irregularly oblong and curved, with
flexuose walls. Peristome smaller, thinner, paler and s ca rce ly papillose.
[Lindberg.)— Dgsii-v. Diminutive o f Dicranum.
After some hesitation I have adopted Mr. Mitten’s genus Anisotheoium,
usually combined with Dicranella, not so much from the convenience it affords
in dividing some 80 species, as from the belief that it is a natural one, though
difficult to define in words ; in both genera, the absence of inflated cells at
the basal angles of the leaf will at once separate the species from Dicmnmn.
