Western Arizona (liigclow), and at the Big Tree Grove, Cali- fornia {liolandcr); Koclcy Mountains (£". Hall)-, Twin Lakes, Colorailo (Wolf it liothrock)] British Columbia (J/acown), a variety with entire borders and long hair-like points. Lindberg, 1. c, remarks on the synonymy of this species and its nume- rous varieties, that upon examination of numerous specimens of the dif- ferent forms he caunot find one with characters distinct enough to sepa- rate it as a species. The surface of the leaves is more or less papillose, sometimes smooth, the costa passes above the apex in a short or long imicro, the borders are marginate by one or two rows of longer yellowish cells, or entire with an unchanged areolation, the lid and the capsule are variable in length, the peristome whitish or reddish brown, and the annulus broad or narrow. 42. B. inermis, Muell. Differs fr'>m the preceding in the leaves more solid, oblong, obtuse or blunt at the apex, the borders not margined, very entire, revolute in the upj)er jiart, tlie areolation smaller, more o})aque and dense, and the cajisule shorter. — Syn. i. 624.
