It differs, iiowevor, in tlie larger leaves, not ovate but rather linear, the capsule longer-pedicellale, vithoiit colluni, and the lid longer-mamillate or ob- tusely rostrate. The stems are nuich longer and more divided; the male brauches long, like the fertile inuovatious. 73. ENTOSTHODON, Schwaogr.

Plants aniiuiil or reproduced by innovations, simple or ])rancli- int;. Leaves variable, even in the same species, with a loose hyaline soft areolation. Flowers moncecious, terminal, the male on the i)riinary stems, the fertile on the innovations j antheri<lia short; ])arai)hyses inflated at the apex. Calyptru vesiculose-cucullate, long-beaked, shining. Capsule thick, siil)- cernuous or })yiiform in connection with itscollum; m:\rginal cells rectangular, in many transverse series; lid small, j)lano- convex. Peristome attached far below the orifice, either very rudimentary, or, as in all the American species, of IG distantly articulate teeth, trabeculate on the inside, narrow, confluent at base. Annulus none. Spores large. 1. E. Drummondii, Sulliv. Plants ccspitose, gregarious, vcllowish trreen ; stems very short: leaves tufted, obovate, lanceolate or lingulate-lanceolate, concave, more or less dis- tinctly crenulate l)y the prominence of the yellowish marginal cells: capsule short, symmetrical, oblong-pyriform and enlarged at the orifice when empty; pedicel comparatively long, flexuous; lid convex, apiculate; teeth linear-lanceolate, dark red, granu- lose, striolate lengthwise; articulations distant: spores reddish brown, subpapillose. â jNIosscs of U.
