Vol. VI, No. 16.] BULLETIN oF THE TORREY BOTANICAL CLuB. [New York, Apr., 1876. 
§ 87. Notes and Criticisms on Hepatice Americane Exsiccate, 
by C. F. Austin. 
No. 6. Plagiochila macrostoma, Sulliv.=Pl. interrupta, Nees; 
an older name.—As Lindberg has recently shown (Act. Soe. Sci. 
Fen. X. p. 504) this plant is hardly a Plagiochila but is nearer to 
Lophocolea and Chiloseyphus, and somewhat intermediate between 
them. But, as it does not fit well in either, he proposes to make a 
new genus, Pedinophyllum, Lindb. of it. 
No. 15. Svapania compacta, Roth.(=Sce. resupinata, (Dill.) Linn.) 
var. irrigua.—This plant is abundant about the “Lakes” on the 
Catskill Mountains. The Var. curta (Scapania curta, Nees.) also 
occurs there. There is a small form of Se. nemorosa, the stems 
always mixed with those of larger size, which resembles this form 
of Sc. compacta very much, but is readily distinguished by its 
areolation being like that of all the forms of Se. nemorosa, and un- 
like that of any form of Se. compacta. (vid. Hook. Brit, Jung., t. 21, 
ff. 17,18 & 19.) Se. brevicaulis, Tayl., is also a form of this species. 
No. 19. Scapania Bolanderi, Aust.—Sc. caudata, Tayl. in Herb. / 
I do not know whether the plant has or has not been published un- 
der this name. 
No. 20. Scapania Peckii, Aust.—Se. glaucocephala, (Tayl.) Aust., 
=ZJungermannia glaucocephala, Tayl. (Lond. Jour, Bot., 1846, 
a 
No. 26, is not a Southbya. It is near. Jung. hyalina, but ap- 
parently a distinct species. It is also closely related to Jung. ob- 
ovata. 
No. 27. Jungermannia Schraderi, Mart.—Add, as a synonym, 
J. subapicalis, Nees. — 
No. 29. Jungermannia spherocarpa, Hook.—It is probable that 
J. nana, Nees, is a synonym. : 
No. 29, b. J. sphwrocarpa, var.?,is very néar J. hyalina and 
probably a form of it.—=/. wlignosa, Aust. Mss. ( 1865.) 
No. 30. Jungermannia crenulata, Smith.—The Var. gracillima, 
Hook., (J. Genthiana, Nees) occurs near Closter, with the usual form 
and passing into it! Certainly not a proper species. — 
No. 31, Jungermannia crenuliformis, Aust.—Dr. Lindberg (Act. 
Soc. Sci. Fen., X. p. 530) expresses a notion that this may be only 
a var. or “subspecies” of J. crenulata. However, it is a very dis- 
tinct species! Both plants are abundant about Closter ; the former 
always on shaded rocks in mountain rivulets ; the latter always on 
the ground in old fields and on road-side banks. They differ very 
decidedly in the texture and position of the leaves and in their shape 
when dry ; also in the texture of the colesulas, &e. 
No. 35. Jungermannia inflata, Var. fluitans, Nees, = Junger—__ 
mannia (Cephalozia) Francisci, Hook., Var. fruitans, Aust.—J.in- 
flata, Var. 6, fluitans, Nees (Hepat. Europ. U. p. 43, &c. )== Cepha- 
lozia obtusiloba, Lindb. (Bot. Not., 1872, p. 164.)= C. cladorrhizans, 
Geo. Stabler in litt. Jan. 1, 1876—=C. fluitans, Aust. Mss, (=No. 
581 of Gott& Rabenh. Exsicc.!). The “Var. f, 4+, flagellifera, 
of Synop. Hepat. p. 106, (vide adnot.,) also belongs to J. Francisci, 
no doubt. No form of J. inflata has ventral flagella (or branches)!
