4. J. unguicularis, n. sp.; caule subcespitoso prostrato sub- 
ramoso complanato squamoso, foliis imbricatis patentibus 
amplexicaulibus lobo ventrali elongate elliptico obtuso basi 
antica elongata ciliata ceterum dentato subuniplicato dor- 
sali latè ovato truncato ciliato-dentato, stipulis bifidis seg- 
mentis laciniatis ciliatis. 
Has. New Zealand. 
Patches lying flat on decayed bark of trees, very pale pea- 
green. Stems scarcely one and a half inches high, with one 
or two erect annual shoots from their summits. The leaves 
lie nearly in the same plane and embrace the stem between 
the lobes, the ventral lobe is remarkably ciliated at the ante- 
base; the joining of the dorsal lobe is protracted on the 
ventral into a linear crest. Cauline scales linear, divided above 
into two or three linear-setaceous branches. The elongated 
ciliz of the leaves, stipules and cauline scales being com- 
posed of a single series of cellules, appear articulated. Sti- 
pules large, bifid, each segment usually bilaciniated, some- 
times however the stipule is composed of three lacinie only. 
The present species, in character, comes very near to our 
J. repleta. It is distinguished by its scaly stem, its more 
obtuse ventral lobe, which too is elongato-ciliate at the base, 
by the very distinctly truncate dorsal lobe, and by the deeper 
laciniation of its stipules. It is besides of a brighter, though 
paler green colour, and its stems are shorter. :

Plants growing among tufts of other Musci or Hepatice, 
about half an inch long, very pale greenish-yellow, subcom- 
pressed, wide, short, their tops obtuse. Leaves thickly set, 
embracing the stems by their bases: the lower leaves are 
scarcely dentate, but the upper and younger have large rather 
obtuse teeth ; the dorsal lobe, not half the size of the ventral,
