NOTES ON NEW ENGLAND HEPATICAE, — II. 



Alexander W. Evans. 

 (Plate 57-) 



In the first paper of this series^ attention was called to fourteen 

 species of Hepaticae which were of interest either because they were 

 new to New England or because they were imperfectly described in 

 American literature. The present paper is a continuation along the 

 same lines. With the exception of Scapania convexula and the new 

 Lepidozia all of the species noted are common to Europe. The 

 arrangement followed is again that of Schiifner in Engler and 

 Prantl's " Die Natiirlichen Pfianzenfamilien."

 found last September by A. LeRoy Andrews on Mt. Greylock, 

 Massachusetts ; they were growing on a wet bank in the " Notch." '^ 

 Until recently most botanists have considered the species a variet) 

 or even a mere form of F. hibernica, and no allusion to it what-
