REVIEW OF LITERATURE
In the Kew Bulletin' there has recently appeared a note on a long obscure
moss name. Inasmuch as the Bulletin is not so readily accessible to most mem-
bers, we reprint the note in full:
"Chatubinskia, Rehmann.-During his travels in South Africa in 1875
to 1877, Dr. Rehmann collected a large number of mosses and hepaticae, which
he distributed in sets accompanied by printed labels bearing details as to the
habitat and in most cases also the determination. Amongst the mosses were
many proposed new species, of which descriptions were not published at the
time, but this was done in some cases by Dr. Carl Mueller in Hedwigia, xxxviii,
pp. 52-155 (1899), while others were merely enumerated in the Revue Bryologique
1878, pp. 69-71, and in General Paris' Index Muscorum, but up to the present
time no general list of this valuable collection has appeared. No. 595, collected
in the Transvaal, was regarded by Rehmann as a new genus, for which he pro-
posed the name Chatubinskia africana, which up to the time of the recent issue
of T. R. Sim's Handbook of the Bryophyta of South Africa (p. 199) had been
neither described nor identified. The specimen at Kew shows that this is not
a moss, but the almost cosmopolitan hepatic, Herberta juniperina, Spruce,
in Trans. Bot. Soc. Edinb., xv, p. 342 (1885); Jungermannia juniperina Sw. Fl.
Ind. Occ., p. 1855 (18o6); Schisma juniperinum, Dmrt. Comm. Bot., p. 114
(1822); Sendtnera juniperina, Nees in Gott., Lindenb. et Nees, Syn. Hepat.,
p. 239 (1844).
The locality given on Rehmann's label is: "Transvalia; in silvis primaevis
mont. Lechlaba in latere meridionali in summi montis Snellskop ad arborum
truncos."

Dr. Andrews2 has recently described a new hybrid moss from material
collected on the surface of fine silt that had been pumped upon a fresh marsh
at Ithaca, N. Y., in the progress of reclamation work. The antheridial parent
was Physcomitrium turbinatum, and the archegonial, Physcomitrella patens.
Both parents, with various species of Physcomitrium and A phanorrhegma, were
abundant in the vicinity. I)r. Andrews gives a detailed description of the
sporophyte, and mentions other cases of hybridism which have been described
in mosses.
Four new species of Lejeuneae are described by Dr. Evans3 in a recent issue
of the American Journal of Botany. The four are: Cololejeunea contractiloba,
Lejeunea cladogyna, Euosmolejeunea parvula, and Ptychocoleus heterophyllus, all
from Florida. Besides detailed descriptions and figures of these species, there
are extended critical notes upon the relationships and distribution of the plants
described, a description (with figure) of Lejeunea longifissa Steph., and addi-
tional descriptive note upon Rectolejeunea Maxonii Evans.
