A rare species of cool bogs. 236 MOSSES WITH HAND-LENS AND MICROSCOPE M. hymenophylloides Hueben. is a rarenorthern species found on cliffs in Ver-mont, New York and northwards. Thereis no authentic record of fruit, thougharchegonia have been seen. The leavesare Hvo ranked and mostly in one plane, thelower rounded-ovate, the upper moreelongated, ovate to obovate (uppermostelliptic-spatulate according to Limpricht), mm., strongly apiciilate; costausually reaching apex; most of the leafcells little if ans longer than broad, onlyabout half the size of the other species of thissection. D. Leaves not margined, serrate. M. stellare Reich, is a small moss usu-ally about 2 cm. high, though sometimesreaching 5 or 6 cm. It grows in ratherdense cushions at the base of trees inswampy woods and, although frequent, itrarely fruits. The leaves are elliptic-oblong, not margined but serrate above.
