Leaves, the inferior pale olive, the upper reddish-purple, 
very thin, rather loosely imbricated, pointing a little forwards, 
their cells minute: at the inferior margin, near the stem, is a 
process which, folding inwards towards the leaf, forms an ob- 
lique pedicel to the auricle; this is sometimes accompanied by 
a minute oval leaf, and is inflated, obovate and open beneath. 
The perichetial leaves are three, erect, closely embracing the 
base of the calyx, the two lateral are entire, obovate, having 
a strap-shaped, acute, curved inner lobe with reflexed sides, 
the third or stipular leaf is oblong, deeply divided into two 
recurved linear segments, whose margins are rugged but not 
toothed. For nearly one third of its length, at the base, the 
calyx is cylindrical and smooth, then rotundato-obovate, €x- 
ceeding the perichetium by one third of its length, it is split 
above into three or four lacinie, and has longitudinal inden- 
tations on the upper, but a wide ridge on the inferior surface; 
in the young state it appears to be crowned with a short 
tube. By the minute, divergent auricles, occurring below the 
leaves, this species is easily known from its congeners.

Black when dry ; moistened, under the microscope, appe 
ing of a fine dark-purple colour. Stems only two or 
lines long, having a few alternate short branches. Theleaves — 
present great differences of form, the lower are the longe — 
they are broadly elliptical or ovate, very obtuse or acuminate, 
entire or with one or two large teeth; their cellules are very 
large in proportion to the size of the plant; the a ed 
supported on an inflexed part of the lower margin of the 
leaf; they are large compared with the latter, and lie below 
them, divaricating outwards and downwards. As in Junge 2
