Suhtribe II. TIMMIE^. Stems simple or dichotomous by annual innovations. Leaves nearly equal; areolation round-hexagonal, papillose in the uj>per part, loose at the base. Flowers monoecious and dioecious. Inner membrane of the peristome obscurely 16-carinate at base, divided above into numerous filiform segments, which are miited by fours at the apex. 92. TIMMIA, Hedw. (PI. 3.) Leaves narrowly lanceolate, recurved or spreading from a long-clasping base, coarsely serrate above; costa round, stout. Calyptra narrow, cucuUate. Capsule on a long thick pedicel, horizontal or inclined, obovate-oblong, obscurely striate or smooth, short-necked. Lid convex, papillate or depressed in the middle. Annulus narrow. Spores very small. 1. T. megapolitana, Hedw. Monoecious: plants loosely cespitose, bright green above : leaves deeply serrate from above the clasping base, concave, cirrhate and fistulose when dry; inner perichaetial leaves thin, ovate-lanceolate: male
