HEPATICA ANTARCTICA, 369 
subintegris concavissimis arcte imbricatis basi ventri- 
cosis. 
Has. Lord Auckland's group. 
Tufts dense, several inches in diameter, brownish. Stems 
about half an inch long, rather thick. Leaves scarcely im- 
bricated, embracing the stem, towards the middle slightly 
recurved, emarginate with an obtuse sinus, the inferior seg- 
ment the larger, both ranks of leaves are bent up from the 
inferior side of the stem and so are somewhat secund. 
Perigonia very frequent, sometimes in the middle of a shoot, 
sometimes terminal, their diameter is wider than that of the 
test of the shoot, their leaves quite tumid, half-pitcher- 
shaped at the base, their tops short, entire or but faintly 
notched. 
Although no calyces have been observed in the present, 
its affinity to the European Jungermannia Funckii, Mohr, is 
80 strong, that the one may easily be mistaken for the other. 
In the latter, however, 1. the stems are shorter, 2. the leaves 
more closely set, 3. their division into two segments is deeper, 
While the segments are acute. 
(Alicularia, Nees.) 
5. J. occlusa, n. sp.; caule recto subcespitoso, ramis binis 
simplicibus, foliis reniformibus hine descendentibus inte- 
gerrimis adpressis subconcavis. 
Has. Campbell’s Island. 
.. . Stems nearly two inches high, the older parts black. 
= saves of a dusky olive-green, their cellules very minute and 
“ose, they increase in size towards the top of the stem 
where they are collected into a subcircular circinate flat sum- 
mut of a pale reddish-brown tinge. 
differs from the European Jungermannia compressa, 
ook., by the inferior lobe of the leaf being longer and 
Sing down considerably below the inferior edge of the 
"uperior lobe, as also by the minuter and closer cellulation
