HEPATIC/E NOVE ZELANDLE, &c. 557 
lobes, as well as the lacinie of the stipules, are obtuse and 
ciliated. 
In February, 1842, Dr. Taylor received this New Zealand 
species from Dr. Balfour of Glasgow, with whose permis- 
sion, and after whom, it has been named. More lately, 
the same has been collected by Mr. Colenso, and in the same 
Island. The Gottschee of Nees are a tribe of Jungermannie 
unknown to the northern hemisphere, while in the southern 
they range from the latitude of Cape Horn to within six 
degrees of the equator, as at Java, whence three species have 
been brought to Europe. Of these it is to Gottschea Blumii 
of Nees that the present is most nearly allied, and from 
which it may be distinguished by the smaller size, by its 
leaves less falcate, by the more entire cauline scales, and 
above all by the quadrifid stipules. 2

Has. New Zealand, Mr. Colenso. 
Tufts close, very pale, pea-green. Roots purple. Stems 
about two inches high, branched above. Leaves about one 
eighth of an inch long, more erect when dry, nearly patent 
When moistened, scarcely acute, the cellules large, the teeth 
of the margin are very long and usually a little curved. The 
dorsal lobe is shorter than the ventral. Stipules deeply 
bifid, their segments with shallower divisions. There are no 
Scales on the stems. The margins of the leaves are so 
incised as to give them the appearance of being sublobate. 
From the preceding, this species may be distinguished by 
the shorter, wider, and more acute leaves, by their larger 
dentation and by the bifid stipules; from Gottschea Blumit, 
Nees, by the shorter, straighter, and more acute leaves, and 
from both by the absence of cauline scales.
