plano adpresso, stipulis minutis bifidis, calyce demum 
laterali elongate stipitato obovato quinquialato tubo minu- 
tissimo coronato ceterum integerrimo. 
Has. New Zealand. 
Patches creeping among other Musci on bark of trees, pale 
green. Stems one quarter of an inch long, branched. 
Leaves from a narrow base obovate, with obtusely angular 
tops, the lesser lobe not inflexed but lying flat on the upper, 
subacute. Stipules broad as the stems. The calyx is re- 
markable for its long naked footstalk, so that it entirely 
stands out of the perichetium; by which circumstance and 
by the flat, not incurved, lesser lobe, this is readily distin- 
guished from the other Lejeunie of Sprengel.

Has. New Zealand. i 
Patches loosely matted together for several inches in 
diameter, dark olive-green. Fronds two inches long, fre- 
quently simple, sometimes divided dichotomously, the nerve 
1$ opaque and has on either side the cells of the frond elon- 
gated, condensed and green so as to form a secondary nerve ; 
the remaining part of the frond is largely cellular; the teeth 
at the margin are distinct, large and incurved. The calyx 
may be observed situated both where the nerve bifurcates in 
- dichotomous frond, and also on the nerve of a simple shoot, 
It is composed of five or six toothed laciniz together forming 
à bell-shaped cavity, within which, in a barren state, a few 
linear, opaque, truncate pistilla may be seen.
