280 EETISION OF COLENSo's NEW-ZEALAND HEPATIC^. 



The union between bracts and perianth in Sarcoscyphus is often 

 incomplete; there are crests or wing^ found inside and outside 

 on the cup, free margins of imperfectly concrescent parts. It is 



possible that the outside of some perianths of Isotachis, though 

 I have not seen it, bears such dentate or laciniate crests, which 

 have given rise to the otherwise incomprehensible contradictions 

 mentioned above.
