Peak (356). Dominica, sine loc. (516). In foliis vivis. 
In the S. American plant described by me (op. ezt. p. 147) the 
inflorescence is monoicous (autoicous), the male organs being 
contained in separate branches from the female. But in the 
St. Vincent plant similar male branches have a female flower in 
the terminal bud, which is often fertile, thus constituting a 
paroicous inflorescence. As I can find no other difference wbat- 
ever, I must refer both forms to a single heteroicous species. 
Herr Stephani has lately referred this plant to ZL. Sieberiana, 
Gottsch., a Mauritian species, described in ‘Synopsis Hepatic.’ 
p- 328, with “foliis margine supero apiceque minute serrato- 
denticulatis, infero subintegerrimis ;”’ whereas L. cherophylla 
has the leaves equally and somewhat strongly dentate all round. 
Moreover, LZ. Siebertana is said to be sterile, and is theretore 
probably dioicous; whereas I have never seen ZL. cherophylia 
without perianths ; nor is any mention made of the cordate base 
of the stipules, so conspicuous in the latter. The plant grows 
always on living leaves, along with the two following Odonto- 
lejeunee, and sometimes with species of other subgenera.
