| 7r9 most widely diffused, as it is found in almost every island within the
tropics.

Didymodon .

Of this genus, the most generally diffused is Did. purpureum: it
is not only common in Europe & North america, but extends to the
Canary isles, & the Cape of Good hope, as far as I recollect it is
also a common species in New Holland. – D. pallidum (Trichostom
pallidum Schw. ) a plant perhaps nowhere abundant, is neverthe-
less widely diffused. Europe, North America, Jamaica, Patagonia,
New Holland &c all posess it. D. trifarium  über der Zeile& [Didymodon] heteromallus has been found both
in Europe & North america & perhaps a few others.

Tortula .

A considerable number are common both to Europe & North a-
merica. A variety? of T. inclinata (a Swiss plant) has been at
the cape of good hope. T. membranifolia Hook. first detected
in Teneriffe, has since been observed in the Pyrenées, in Swisserland,
and even by innerhalb der Zeilein the environs of Paris! – T. muralis, occurs both
in Europe & S. america (Rio Janeiro  über der Zeileat Mendoça), T. ruralis oc-
curs every where. A few species are peculiar to North ameri-
ca, as T. caespitosa, [Tortula] humilis, [Tortula] leucostoma; some are peculiar
to Nepal, as T. indica, [Tortula] flavescens, [Tortula] angustifolia; others are
peculiar to New Holland,  über der Zeileothers to the cape, others to the West Indies. T. cirrhata
(Trichostomum barbula Schw. ) found in Portugal, occurs also
in Teneriffe, & a larger variety has been sent me from
Rio Janeiro.  Anmerkung des Autors (innerhalb der Zeile) –{N. B. T. stellata  innerhalb der Zeileof Jamaica, said by Dickson to grow in Scotland is probably
an error, there is reason to fear that he  über der Zeilehad confused his Scottish &
Jamaica plants together.

Conostomum[.]

There are only two species; the one is confined to the
northern parts of Europe; as Scotland, Lapland &c, the other
to the straights [sic] of Magellan[.]

Bartramia[.]

So many disputes are at present as to what are species &
what are not so, in this genus, that it [is] difficult to say which
are peculiar to Europe & I rather think however that
B. Halleriana, [Bartramia] Ithyphylla, & [Bartramia] arcuata are the only three
that are not found elsewhere. B. pomiformis occurs innerhalb der Zeile,
[Bartramia] gracilis, & [Bartramia] fontana, are  über der Zeilealso extremely  über der Zeilecommon in North america. In
which country (the North West Coast), B. menziesii has
only been found. B. longifolia is peculiar to South america
(vide.  Kunth 1822–1825, I, 55.
