ODONTOSCHISMA. Leafy stems tV iich or less wide, creeping and interwoven, green, to red-brown with a trace of green; branches usually rising from the underside of stem; leaves entire, rarely emarginate or bilobed, often bordered. Underleaves invisible with a lens. The perianth is on a short lateral branch which distinguishes all the species from Jamsoniella. O. PROSTRATUM (Swartz) Travis (O. Sphagni of American authors). The plants of this delicate and pretty hepatic grow mostly in swamps over and among mosses and other bog plants, rarely on rotten wood. The stems are creeping with ascending tips; leaves distant to- closely imbricate, not growing minute at base and apex of branches, attached very obliquely, not flat- tened out but ascending and forming a channel between the two.
