HEPATICH’ ANTARCTIC. 379 
One of a tribe difficult to determine or describe; all 
having Jung. bidentata, L.for their type; from this species 
our's differs by the minuter size, secund leaves, which are 
more elongated, their cellules more minute, their emargina- 
tion deeper and the stipules more minute and less decom- 
pounded. 
25. J. grisea, n. sp.; caule procumbente implexo ramoso, 
folis patentibus approximatis supremis congestis ovali- 
rotundatis integerrimis marginibus recurvis, stipulis bipar- 
titis segmentis hinc unidentatis, calyce terminali triangulari- 
oblongo compresso ore dentato.

Patches flat, shallow, greyish-olive or dusky. Stem 
between one and two inches long, variously branched, tops 
of the shoots ascending. Leaves in the inferior part of the 
stem distichous, convex from the recurvation of both upper 
and lower margins, in the upper part adpressed and secund, 
forming a flat capitulum. Calyces about one line long, tri- 
angular, the angles thickened and opaque, the wider side 
corresponding to the inferior side of the stem, the mouth is 
triangular and toothed. Pericheetial leaves three, erect, of 
these the two upper are larger and more elongated than the 
cauline, rounded and entire, the third or stipular is oblong, 
bifid with a shallow notch, its margins recurved. 
This exhibits a strong resemblance to Lophocolea discedens 
of Nees ; it is however a larger species, of a paler colour, the 
leaves are not patenti-recurved but rather erecto-patent, their 
tops are entire, the stipules have segments, bearing each a 
Single tooth on the outer margin. 
26. J. lenta, n. sp.; caule cæspitoso subsimplici adscendente 
debili subflexuoso, foliis distichis contiguis patentibus 
oblongis bifidis, segmentisd ivaricatis acuminatis integer- 
rimis, stipulis minutis lanceolatis bipartitis integerrimis,
