Abstract

In the description of the Mosses of Tasmania recorded in
Papers and Proceedings for 1913, a specimen of Ephemerum
cristatum, H.f.W., not being available, Mitten's description
was used. This is vague and insufficient to assist the junior
student. The plant is minute, barely one millimetre in
height, the capsule is globose as in Acaulon, but the leaves
are very distinct. These are of thin texture, ovate-acuminate,
the margin and midrib armed with relatively long simple or
compound spinous processes. The cells are rectangular, but
very irregular in size and shape. This description is from
a specimen gathered at Bellerive by A. J. Taylor in 1886.
