ments acuminate, with tops bent in. Stipules nearly rotun- 
date, one margin often with the dentation more conspicuous 
than in the other, and this occurs on alternate sides of adja- 
cent stipules. 
This species approaches in characters very near to the 
tropical Jung. serrulata, Swartz. It is however a larger and 
thicker plant, has leaves more opaque and of a more lurid 
purple, they are moreover longer, more erect, with margins 
scarcely toothed.

Tufts one inch high, pale-brownish white. Stems branched 
by a pair of annual innovations, which are opposite and ori- 
ginate at the base of the calyx. Leaves rather distant, loose 
in texture, deeply and variously cut into two, three or four 
subdivergent segments. The two perichetial leaves always 
quadrifid, erect, loosely embracing the base of the calyx. 
is is subulate, inflated, minutely toothed at the mouth and 
With one or two faint longitudinal grooves on the neck. 
ere are no stipules. 
is species possesses many points of resemblance to 
the northern J, bicuspidata, L. as its pale colour, loose 
ves with large cellules and with acuminate segments, and 
elongated calyx. It differs by its smaller size, its stem 
and leayes more erect, the leaves more divided and by the 
calyx terminating the branches and not supported on proper 
shoots, although in this particular J. bicuspidata, L. is some- 
times sportive,
