divaricated. The stipules have four setaceous segments 
which are quite entire. "The perichztial leaves are more 
erect, wider, and their margin is more waved than the 
cauline, they are sometimes sparingly dentate. The oblong 
triquetrous calyx has the mouth beautifully fringed and one 
lip much longer than the other; it has usually three wings 
which are strongly dentate. The perigonia occur about the 
middle of a shoot and consist of closely imbricated, adpressed, 
upright leaves, ventricose at the base, their points standing 
out from the stem; the stipules of the perigonia are less 
compounded than those of the rest of the stem, being for the 
most part simply bifid. The capsule is oblong, splitting into 
four elliptical valves, discharging numerous, minute, round 
seeds and spiral filaments with a double helix. 
This species approaches the European Jung. bidentata L. 
differing from it by its smaller size, more deeply notched 
leaves, their segments more elongated, by the quadrifid 
stipules with entire segments, but above all by the inequality 
of the two lips of the calyx.

Patches more than two inches wide, dusky yellowish- 
Steen. Stems £o inches long. Leaves of the young shoots 
often secund, the older lying in the same plane, largely cel- 
lulose. Stipules in four segments of which the two lateral 
are the shortest and most patent; calyx rising from the side 
of the branch, covered by three larger pericheetial leaves, 
bifid and here and there toothed: these, again, often lie 
Within two or three cauline leaves which depart from their 
usual direction and become adpressed to the perichetium, 
Such are often trifid at their summits.  Pedicel about one 
inch long. Capsule oval, splitting into four valves and dis- 
charging numerous brown seeds and spiral filaments with a
