K. Kep. iv. 186, t. 6. Hau. Near Benicla, California {Bhjeloio, Bolander). As remarked by the autlior, this species is allied to B. versicolor, which however has the pedicel more suddenly bent at the base of the inflated collum, and the leaves longer and long-acutiiinate by the excurrent costa. From B. liUndli, to which it is also related, it differs In its narrower leaves, in the form of the capsule, which is subglobose in the European species, and in the inner peristome. 35. B. cyclophyllum, Bruch & Schimp. Plants bright green, soft, loosely cespitose, more or less divided according to size, radiculose near the base at the axils of the leaves: stem- leaves distant, broadly ovate, narrowed to the base, the comnl few, broadly oblong, all concave, ol)tuse, very entire, loosely areolate, twisting when dry; costa vanishing below the apex : male plant similar; perigonium reddish, gemmiform: capsule pendent, short, pyriform, broad-mouthed, constricted under the orifice when dry; peristonn^ regular. — Bryol. Eur. t. 370. minium cydophyllum^ Schwaegr. Suppl. ii. 2. 160, t. 194. Hah, On stones wet by spray, at Niagara Falls (Cr. Jr. Clinton)', wet rocks, Pennsylvania (James). This species is often confounded with B. cnlophi/llnm, from which it differs in its broader softer and more loosely areolate leaves, in
