Species Hepatic. Fasc. 6 et 7 Lepidozia (1846) p. 42 schrieb 
Lindenberg von der Lepidozia tumidula Tayl.: „Differt a 
Lepidozia reptante ramis tumidulo-teretibus et toto adspectu, 
neque facile cum illa commutanda; etiam forma laxıor #, 
quae hucusque semper in cummunitate cum forma prineipali 
inventa est, haud difhicile dignoscenda. Lepidozia cupressina 
eontra et Lep. truncatella ramificatione tantum et ramis gra- 
ceilioribus tute, ut videtur, differunt.“ 
= Nees hatte nach eigener Anschauung von der Lepidozia 
-  tumidula Tayl. in der Synops. Hep. p. 206 gesagt: „Simillima 
est Lep. cupressinae, quae vix distinguenda nisi caule semper 
simpliciter pinnato, ramis subheteromallis.“ : 
E. Diese Pflanze sammelte nun Dr. Carrington mit Pe- 
rianthien im Mai 1861 an den Taylor’schen Standorten (Woods 
of Killarney; Glena) und schickte sie an Dr. Rabenbhorst 
zur Publikation ein mit dem Namen Lepidozia tumidula 
Tayl., unter dem sie 1862 als no. 214 in den Dekaden er- 
schien. In einer späteren Abhandlung von 1863 in den 
Trans. Bot. Soc. Ed. vol. VII. zeigt die Tafel 2 fig. VIL 
wie auch die dazu gehörige Erläuterung noch den Namen L. 
tumidula Taylor, während der Text dazu p. 453. (Separat- 
Akdr. p. 26) diese Pflauze als Lepidozia cupressina Ldg. £ 
tumidula aufführt. Wie man aus Dr. Moore’s Report on 
Irish Hepaticae 1876 pg. 621 ersieht, soll die Bezeichnung 
„Lig.“ den Prof. S. ©. Lindberg bedeuten. Dabei bemerkt 
Dr. Carrington: „Lep. tumidula is said to differ in the b- 
pinnate, less attenuated ramuli and broader leaves. The 
_ Irish speeimens very much both as to size, ramification, and 
'shape of the leaves. Some stems are distantly and irre- 
‚gularly branched and scarcely distinguishabel from L. rep- 
tans, while others are densely pinnate, bi-or even tri-pinnate, 
according to the age and luxuriance of the plant, — new 
_ stems springing from the old in a proliferous manner. Having 
compared it very carefully with exemples of L. cupressina 
from various parts of Central America, and the West Indies, 
I have been unable to meet with any reliable diagnostie 
character; indeed these specimens difier more among each 
other than from our plant. — The perianths also, which 
I was fortunate enough to meet with, correspond with fertile 
ıfts from Jamaica. The involucral leaves are variable 
‘in shape, obtusely tridentate, the central tooth reflexed 
a larger rhomboid areolae than on the stem-leaves (VI.

habit, closely pinnate ramuli, subvertical cordate leaves,
