470 HEPATICZ ANTARCTIC. 
Leaves alternate, with a wide decurrent base, semirotundato- 
oblong, their emargination or sinus so short as to be scarcely 
perceptible; their structure is minutely cellular, their colour 
very pale on the younger shoots. Stipules scarcely wider 
than the stems, having a subrotund base, and being split 
above into two acuminate segments, each of which has 
exteriorly a single large tooth. 
This species approaches our J. grisea, from Lord Auck- 
land’s group, which, however, is a smaller plant, with leaves 
narrower and obovate, while our J. planiuscula, from the 
same place, is much larger, with stipules longer and nearly 
entire. Both these species have larger cells to their 
leaves. 
36. J. grisea, n. sp. ; described before from Lord Auck- 
land’s group. . 
Has. Falkland Islands. 
37. J. reclinans, n. sp.; caule implexo prostrato subra- 
moso, foliis imbricatis patentibus siccitate explanatis madore 
secundis ex lata basi oblongo-rotundatis integerrimis apice 
subbilobis, stipulis quadri-partitis segmentis setaceis, duobus 
mediis elongatis. 
Has. Falkland Islands. : 
Patches rather loose, growing on other Hepatice or Muset, 
pale olive-green. Stems supine, scarcely half an inch long, 
sparingly branched. Leaves with the anterior margin gib- 
bous, having sometimes three, more commonly two, scarcely 
prominent lobes formed by a shallow indentation of the tops 
sometimes any appearance of a sinus is wanting. Stipules 
with a minute quadrate base, bipartite, each segment again 
sending exteriorly a shorter one; all of them setaceons, 
articulated, incurved. 
This species has a strong affinity to our J. multipenn 
from Lord Auckland’s group; but then in the structure 
of the leaves the cells are more minute, the leaves are € 
gibbous anteriorly, and the stipules have none of their seg- 
ments reflexed, but the central pair are far more slender à 
incurved. bd
