NEW HEPATIC.*. 275 



laciniato-spinosis ; calyce terminali ex angusta basi elongato- 

 obconico, tumido, sursum subplicato, ore lacero-dentato. 

 Has. Nepal. Wattich. 



Patches loose, their tops reddish. Stems more than 

 1 inch long, with one or two innovations from the summits, 

 their tops incurved. Roots descend from the entire inferior 

 side of the stems. Leaves with a series of larger cells all 

 round the margin. Perigonia are short spikes, sometimes 

 terminal, sometimes in the course of the shoots, their leaves 

 have elongated tumid bases, and in general a short, rather 

 obtuse process on the dorsal margin. Calyx elongated. This 

 differs from J. Tasmanica, just described, by its smaller size, 

 and by the remoter leaves, whose margins are plane, never 

 recurved. 



8. J. revolvens, Hook. fil. et Tayl. ; caule csespitoso adscen- 

 dente, ramoso ; foliis imbricatis, patentibus, oblongis, mar- 

 gine utroque recurvo, integerrimo ; calyce terminali, ob- 

 longo, tumido, obtuso, subincurvo, sursum obtuse quadri- 

 plicate, ore minuto, denticulato ; foliis perichaetialibus binis, 

 digitato-laciniatis, calyci adpressis. 

 Hab. Van Diemen's Land. Gunn. Hook. Herb. 



Patches wide, pale olive-green. Stems about 1 inch long, 

 irregularly branched, creeping, the new shoots adscending. 

 Both margins of the leaves recurved, as in several Playiochila ; 

 the cellules large at the junction of the leaves to the stems. 

 No stipules, except a few, almost inconspicuous towards the 

 tops of male shoots. Calyx curved, as in J. lanceolata, L. 

 The pericheetial leaves or scales are concealed by the adjoin- 

 ing pair of cauline leaves, they are anomalous, being deeply 

 laciniated ; by which character and by the recurvation of both 

 margins of the leaves, our present plant differs abundantly 

 from J. lanceolata, L. 



9- J. pansa, Tayl. ; caule disperso, brevissimo, basi reclinato, 

 radicante, apice adscendente, incrassato ; foliis imbricatis, 

 secundis, rotundatis, integerrimis, margine recurvis. 

 Hab. On clay, Swan River. Mr. James Drummond.
