Polytrichum aristiflorum Mitt. Unduavi, 8000 ft. October
1885 (3155a).
This species has also been collected at Yungas by Pearce
There are a great many diverse localities cited for this species by
Mitten, and there is as much diversity in the specimens at Kew.
We referred all of Dr. Rusby’s specimens from Yungas, 110s. 3155b
and c and no. 3155a from Sorata and 3155c from Mapiri to this
species, but Dr. Miiller gave it a manuscript name, which is ante-
dated by P. patulum Harvey (Müll. Syn. Muse. 1: 210) from Ne-
paul. It seems probable that there is room for the separation of
several species, but as ours agree with Jameson’s from the Andes
of Quito and Weddell’s from Peru, we have thought it best to
enumerate them under this species.
