Plants annual or reproduced by innovations, 8iin]>le or brandl- ing. Leaves variable, even in the same species, with a loose hyaline soft areolation. Flowers nioncccious, terminal, the male on the prhnary stems, the fertile on the innovations; antheridia short; paraphyses inflated at the apex. Calyptra vesiculose-cucuUate, long-beaked, shining. Cnpsulo thick, sub- cernuous or pyriform in connection with its collum; marginal cells rectangular, in many transverse series; lid small, plano- convex. Peristome attached far below the orifice, either very rudimentary, or, as in .ill 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 cespitose, gregarious, yellowish green; stems very short: leaves tufted, obovate, lanceolate or Ungulate-lanceolate, concave, more or less dis- tinctly crenulate by the prominence of the yellowish marginal cells: capsule short, symmetrical, oblong-i)yriform and enlarged at the orifice when empty; pedicel comparatively long, flexuous; lid convex, apicidate; teeth linear-lanceolate, dark red, granu- lose, striolate lengthwise; articulations distant: spores red. Muse. i. 62. Hab. Moist clay soil, Louisiana (I)rummond)\ near Montgomery, Alabama (Sullivant); rare. 2. E. Bolanderi, Lesq. Plants gregarious; stems longer than in
