II. ALTERATIONS OF NOMENCLATURE, AND SYNONYMS.

No. 54. W. truncicola De Not. =

Dicranum montanum. Hedw. “Having shown the specimen to Prof. Lindberg during his recent visit, he informed me that he was under the impression that Juratzka had referred it to Dic. montanum; and on comparing the two I find they are truly identical. The species is, however, none the less an addition to our flora.... its place will be next to D. strictum.” [Dr. Braithwaite, in Grevillea i., p. 75.]

No. 71. Dicranum polycarpum. β. strumiferum = Oncophorus strumifer. Brid.

ONCOPHORUS. Brid.

L. spreading flexuose from a sub-decurrent base; caps. cernuous incurved, neck shortly and widely strumose, not striate.
