Pulvinate-cespitulose ; the stems 1 cm. long or less, fastigiately branching: leaves sub- erect, lanceolate or sublingulate, carinate, muticous or the upper hyaline-apiculate, more or less thickened on the borders ; areolation very minute, dense, somewhat pellucid, a little larger at the base; costa slender, vanishing far below the apex ; peri- cha3tial leaves erect, broader, loosely areolate at base, often sabdenticulate on the borders, long-hyaline, mucronate, serrate, costate to below the apex : capsule on a very short straight pedi- cel, globose, with a broad orifice; teeth pale red, short, broad, subcribrose at the apex, spreading open when dry, incurved when moist; lid and calyptra not seen. — Coult. Bot. Gaz. ii. 109. Hab. Colorado (Tirandegee). The autlior says that this species is one of the smallest of the genus. The absence of tlie lid and calyptra renders the relations of this moss un- certain. The characters of the leaves and areolation, the form of the capsule, and the peristome are those of G, Donninnn, var. elomjatn, whose leaves are muticous or shortly hyaline-apiculate; but the pedicel is long. 21. G, ovata, Web. & Mohr. More robust than the lr*st, pulvinate or subcesi)itose: lower leaves much smaller than the comal ones, ovate, lanceolate-acute, the comal oblong-concave an
