HEPATICJ& ANTARCTIC. 285 
Chiloscyphus spinosus, Gottsche in Synops. Hepatic. 
Has. Lord Auckland's group. 
Patches some inches in diameter, growing on the surface 
of other Hepatice or Musci, pale-tawny. Stems from one 
to two inches long, variously but sparingly branched ; shoots 
one eighth of an inch wide. Leaves rather flat, but, by the 
recurvation of the inferior margin, they appear at that part 
somewhat convex; the denticulation is long and the terminal 
pair of teeth include a considerable notch ; the stipules are 
round and divided into about six short lacinie, which how- 
ever have teeth as coarse as those of the leaves. 
The deeply divided stipules will serve readily to separate 
this species from Jung. Billardieri, Hooker. 
(Lepidozea, Wees). 
38. J. levifolia, n. sp.; caule implexo elongato pinnato, 
ramis brevibus patentibus recurvis attenuatis, foliis stipu- 
lisque quadrato-rotundatis quadrifidis segmentis acutis 
incurvis, calyce in ramis brevibus ex inferiore parte caulis 
egredientibus terminali lanceolato acuminato apice plicato, 
ore denticulato. 
Has. Campbell’s Island. 
In flat tufts, or dispersed, pale-olive brown. Stems slen- 
der, one or two inches long; branches attenuate, short, 
Issuing at right angles, subrecurved. Leaves fixed obliquely 
across the stem, rather distant, smooth. Stipules scarcely 
one fourth of the size of the leaves. Calyx terminal on a 
very short perichetium of a few erect adpressed leaves, 
which are less deeply divided than the cauline. Capsule 
cylindrical ; seeds numerous, round, dark-brown ; spiral 
filaments long, slightly twisted, having a double helix. 
This Species approaches the European Jungermannia 
*eptans, L.; the size is smaller, the stems less closely pin- 
nated, the leaves are more distant and have not the dotted 
Appearance arising from prominent cellules as noticed of 
J. reptans in Hook. Brit. Jung. Besides, the calyx is 
Situated on a shorter pericheetium, and is more elongated.
