dated. Capsules abundant, mostly opposite, globose or
broadly obovate, much darker than the threads; when solitary
there is generally a short branchlet opposite to them. The
outer border of the threads is sometimes thick and irregular.
This species has a different habit from E. bvachicitus, though
the mode of branching is much the same. In that species
however the capsules are imbedded in the branchlets. I do
not find this species in the collections which have been sent
me from the French side of the Channel. M. J. B.
