Subgenus 12. Prrononeseunea, Spruce. 
The specimens referred to this subgenus are nearly all in 
small quantity, creeping over other hepatics or on living leaves, 
especially of ferns. In a final revision of my own plants I found 
several new species of this group, some of them in sufficient 
quantity to be distributed in my ‘ Exsiecate’ (Malton, 1892), 
and three of these reappear in Mr. Elliott’s collection.
