nearly allied. In the Synopsis Hepaticarum, B. Jilicina, 

 Swartz, and Jung, jilicina, Hook, are united ; but although 

 Swartz may have collected both, and placed both under one 

 name in his herbarium, yet we believe that a specimen given 

 to us by Dickson, in 1814, and which he received from 

 Swartz as Jung. Jilicina of his Flor. Ind. Occid. differs from 

 the Hookerian species by the more crowded leaves, by their 

 ventral margin being involute, by the more oblong stipules, 

 by the greater size of the species, and by the more pectinate 

 stems. Ours, again, differs from the plant of Swartz just 

 alluded to, and which it more nearly resembles than Jung. 

 Jilicina, Hook, by the less crowded though larger leaves, by 

 the ventral margin presenting a remarkable sinus close to the 

 lobule, and which makes the entire leaf recurved, by the 

 shorter lobules and shorter stipules, whose margins are less 

 recurved. It differs from both by the larger cells of the 

 leaves.

Patches wide, dark olive. Stems about 1 inch long. 

 Leaves largely cellulose, closely imbricated, subdeflexed. 

 Stipules scarcely twice as broad as the stems. The pale 

 perichatium is quite concealed between the base of the calyx 

 and the last pair of cauline leaves, and is not half of the 

 length of the calyx; its lateral leaves are acute, the lo- 

 bule acuminate. Nearly allied to our T. anguiformis, 

 likewise from New Zealand; but distinguished by the
