HEPATICA ANTARCTICA. 457 
Stipules large, their segments with recurved margins, they 
bear crests at their bases. The calyx likewise bearing crests, 
is paler than the leaves, Pedicel about one inch long. Cap- 
sule cylindrical. 
This resembles Jung. lamellata Hook., the crests on the 
leaves, however, are more regular, and the stipules simply 
bifid. .A variety of the present plant, collected in the same 
locality, is diminutive, its stems not exceeding one inch in 
height.

6. J. ansata, n. sp.; caule subcespitoso adscendente elon- 
gato subramoso, foliis imbricatis erectis adpressis secundis 
rotundatis hinc basi decurrentibus integerrimis. 
Has. Falkland Islands. 
Tufts loose, dusky pale-brown. Stems ascending through 
tufts of Musci, in the instance before us of Dicranum Bil- 
lardieri (Schwaeg.), flexuose, weak, scarcely branched. 
Leaves thin, entire, circular, but the posterior margin ter- 
minating in a decurrent process, resembling a handle, whence 
the trivial name, the leaves are erect and the two series ad- 
pressed, hence they are necessarily homomallous; their 
anterior margin is slightly recurved. 
This has the habit of Jung. conjugata Hook., but the 
stems are far more elongated, the leaves quite entire and by 
no means united in opposite pairs at their bases. 
7. J. unciformis, n. sp.; caule cæspitoso erecto subsimplici 
apice uncinato, foliis imbricatis erectis secundis adpressis 
Ovato-rotundatis, margine inferiori gibbosis, denticulatis, 
Superiori incurvis basi subnervosis. 
Has. Hermite Island, Cape Horn. 
Tufts a few inches wide, reddish-brown. Stems half an 
inch high, hooked at the tops. Leaves increasing in size 
towards the top, homomallous, compressed, much imbri- 
cated, their upper margin incurved with a tumid fold, the 
lower bulging out and denticulate ; the cells are minute and 
condensed, except at the middle of the base where they are
