The distinctive characters of the speciesare well shown in the illustration. The leaves are long lanceolate and incised-serrate, sometimes almost pinnatifid ; costa percurrent. The hypophysis is onlya little broader than the rest of the capsule, or frequently reduced to merely asmall neck; the columella is often exserted and the teeth reflexed; the spore-bearing part of a freshly opened capsule is a brick-red and the teeth a brightershade of the same color; the seta is rather short as in T. aiigintatui, which itsomewhat resembles, but the leaves are very much more deeply toothed as arule, although they are sometimes entire. The tiifference in habitat is, however,most distinctive. TAYLORIA Hook. is another genus of this family of which a few very rare species are found innortheastern America. The hypophysis is much smaller than in the two pre-ceding genera, being narrower than the rest of the capsule and appearing as aneck. T. te
