22. J. monocera, n. sp.; caule implexo prostrato vage ramoso, 
foliis subimbricatis patentibus oblongo-ovatis rotundatis

deflexo, stipulis ovato-acuminatis bifidis dentatis, calyce 
terminali obcordato trigono angulis hirtis ore tubifero. 
Has. Van Diemen’s Land. Growing among patches of 
Jungermannie. 
Patch small, whitish-green. Stems nearly half an inch 
long, irregularly branched. Leaves loosely simbricated, 
patent, very thin, quite flat, elliptical; the lobulus helmet- 
shaped, with a single subreflexed horn or spine. Stipules 
wider than the stems.  Perichætium on a short branch, 
(nearly covering the calyx), the three pieces of which it is 
composed are united at their bases, dentate, erect, the lesser 
lobe lanceolate. Angles of the calyx with variously curved 
spines, which are sometimes confluent so as to form a wing. 
This species approaches nearest to the North American Frul- 
lania Atchafalage, Hampe. The leaves are whiter and more 
imbricated, the spine of the lobulus is longer and more de- 
curved, while the stipule is dentate.

. Creeping among Musci or Hepaticæ, pale olive. Stems 1 
inch long, variously branched. Leaves wide, their tops 
broadly rotundate, quite entire. Stipules four or five times 
as wide as the stems. Perigonia lateral, linear-oblong, spicate. _ 
i Perichetial leaves erect, the lesser lobe lanceolate, acute. - 
Pedicel exserted, as long as the calyx. Capsule pale yellow, 
split half-way down.. This has a strong affinity to Jung. |
