Hah. Vancouver Island (Macoiin). A slender delicate species related to P. Muhlenberr/ii, differing in the lon<;er-aeuininate subulate leaves, with shorter quadrate and less papillose areolatlon, the perigonial leaves longer and acuminate, flexuous at the point, etc. The form of the capsule is the same; the pedicel shorter, thick, not geniculate at base. 3. P. fontana, Brid. In wide more or less compact yel- lowisli green tufts; s^jms long, simple or dichotomous; branch- lets verticillate, nearly equal: leaves often of two forms, either small, ovnger, falcate; costa thick, light brown. IIAn. On the borders of springs and rivulets, and on moist rocks; very common. The first variety on high mountains, the second near springs in valleys and on mountains; not common. 4. P. calcarea, Schimp. Much like the last, differing in its thicker wider bright green tufts and more robust stems; leaves larger, crowded, secund or falcate-secund, ovate-lanceo- late, those of the male branches often smaller and imbricate, all loosely areolate with a stouter costa, the perigonium large and open, and the involucral leaves long-lanceolate from an en-.
