much more robust and is frequently tinged with purplish or reddish, 
L. Kaurini being green. L. Rutheana is further distinguished by 
larger and more complex underleaves and by the faet that it grows 
in swamps rather than on rocks.

Mt. Desert (E. L. Rand); near Schoodic Lake (A. W. E.). New 
Hampshire: Waterville (Miss Lorenz). This rare species is widely 
distributed in northern Europe and is also known, in North America, 
from Ellesmere Land and from New Jersey. In all probability its 
range extends throughout New England.

Europe. 
In the writer’s first series of Notes on New England Hepaticae,’ 
L. Mildeana was included under L. marchica as a synonym, thus 
following the example of Stephani in his Species Hepaticarum. Since 
that time Warnstorf,? Schiffner, and Müller, although recognizing 
the close relationship between the two plants, have maintained the 
validity of L. Mildeana as a species. The same course is followed in 
the present paper. In the majority of cases the two plants can be 
distinguished at a glance. In L. marchica the plants are commonly 
scattered among tufts of Sphagnum, the stems are more or less pig- 
1 Most of these stations have already been reported under L. marchica.
