The structure of the capsule reveals an affinity with
Trichostomum
, also the annulus and the peristome. Differences to note are that in the central and the upper parts of the peristome the outer half of the teeth are weaker and terete, whilst the inner ones are stronger and appearing flattened, that means
*) The separation of the genera
Trichostomum
and
Barbula
based on the difference of the structure of the peri- stome (Bruch and Schimper l. l. Fasc. XIII-XV
Barbula
p. 6 and Fasc. XVIII
Trichostomum
p. 3) is inadmis- sible because such a difference is non-existent. Both genera, together with
Didymodon
may be seen as a subunit of
one
genus not yet defined, because the turning of the peristome teeth is very variable.

that the membrane thickening of the peristome cells itself is not so strong as that of the neighbouring cells (compare Tab. LXVI.
