| 5v6others from the tropics, as O. plicatum, of innerhalb der Zeilethere are über der Zeileonly about
10 or 12 peculiar to
Europe, about 4 über der Zeile4 or 5 to North america
(betwixt the united states & the
arctic regions), at least
5 or 6 common to
Europe & North america, one to Europe
& South america, and the remainder[,]
über der Zeileabout 40 in number[,] seemed pretty much
confined to their respective countries, they are about innerhalb der Zeile
which may be said to be chiefly tropical; a few only
as Otaheita, Nepal,
New Zealand, Van Diemens-land,
Cape of Good
Hope being out of that range, & and innerhalb der Zeilenot
many species are hitherto discovered in these.
Only one species which is confined to the sea coasts
of Great Britain innerhalb der ZeileEngland &
Ireland.
Of this genus, containing about über der Zeile27 or 28 species,
nearly 20 are
confined to Europe,
scarcely more than two to North america
(the united states), one, G. apocarpa with its varieties über der Zeile&
perhaps G. maritima seems
common to both. G. fontinaloides, über der Zeile[Grimmia] longisotris, and
[Grimmia]
fuscolutea, belongs to S. america;
and G. campestris to the Cape of Good
hope: The European species
are principally alpine, but some are found innerhalb der Zeileas G. maritima are
found at the level of the sea, others as G. apacarpa occur in all
situations, über der Zeilewhich from the slight variations that in
consequence takes [sic]
place on the appearance of the plant, has received six or eight
different names. It is singular that G. pulvinata, β. [Grimmia] africana, brought
by Thunberg from the Cape
of Good hope, & which perhaps with
justice should be
held as a distinct species, or perhaps the innerhalb der Zeilemore
probably the same with G. fuscolutea from über der ZeileS. America, has been
said to have been
found in Swisserland. As however I have
not yet seen either, I cannot give my opinion decidedly.
Of the
South american ones G. fontinaloides is analogous to our
European
G. apocarpa var. rivularis – G. longirostris to the European
G. ovata – and lastly G. fuscolutea to the G. pulvinata. Of the
South
african species, G. campestris resembles G. leucophaea so
closely as with difficulty to be
separated, and G. africana, supposing
it distinct, is very closely
allied to G. pulvinata. Thus an
opinion that there are only three
species of this genus would gain
some confirmation, & that these
species were distributed all over
the globe: the three species would be 1.
with immersed setae, 2. with
exserted straight setae, & 3. with
excerted incurved setae.
