Chapter 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.

O. STRUMIFER. Brid. “This is again restored to the rank of a species, as it differs from _O. polycarpus (Dicranum)_ in the caps. being more or less cernuous, constantly strumose at base, with a compound annulus, and in the leaves having papillæ only on the upper surface.” [Dr. Braithwaite, Jour. Bot. VIII. 228.]
