has only been found in the middle of Europe, at very great elevations.
pellucida is found in Europe & the united states, at small elevations. There are other three species but these are confined wholly to the middle parts of Europe.
Common in the West India islands, as Jamaica, Saint Vincents &c, in Africa as at Ouare, in Cayenne, Brazil , isle de Bourbon, & Isle de France, Madagascar, Nepal and other parts in the East indies.
Octodon .
First found in the isle de Bourbon, but now in the greatest profusion in Nepal.
Not one species is European: Indeed it may be called a tropical genus. Calymperes lonchophyllum is found in Cayenne, Brazil &c. Calymperes Palisoti at Ouare(?) in africa, in the isles of Granada, Saint Thomas, Saint Vincents; Brazil, Nepal, Prince of Wales Island, and the Moluccas (for I consider Calymperes moluccensis as the same species). Calymperes Berterii is found in Hispaniola, Calymperes Swartzii (Eucalypta parasitica Swartz) in the West Indies – Calymperes Gardneri, & Calymperes Taylori in Nepal – Three or four other species are found in the isle of Saint Vincent, & one or two more in the Moluccas. – All of them seem to grow on trees.
Zygodon conoideum is dispersed throughout Europe. Zygodon menziesii in New Zealand, New Holland, &c. and Zygodon obtusifolium in Nepal. All I believe on the trunks of trees.
This genus is too extensive to examine the species separately: it is sufficent to say that it is very generally distributed. The species occurring in Europe & North america have usually a very different appearence from those to the South, so much so as to induce some muscologists to retain the former only in this genus; & they have accordingly constituted two new genera for the remainder. But some species as Orthotrichum diaphanum is found not only in Europe, but at Mendoça (in Chili),
