NEW HEPATlCiE. 389 



Perichsetial leaves nearly as long as the calyx, erect, narrow, 

 acute ; a pair of annotinous shoots issue from beneath the 

 calyx. This is allied to our Phr. microscypha, from St. 

 Helena ; it is, however, a smaller and paler plant, and has 

 the leaves more patent j besides, the calyces are not lateral 

 as in that species. 



2. L. adglutinata, Tayl. ; caule disperso, repente, adnato, vage 

 ramoso, surculis complanatis ; foliis laxe imbricatis, pa- 

 tentibus, recurvis, acinaciforrnibus, obtusis, maigine denti- 

 culato ; lobulis dimidiato-ovatis inflexis ; stipulis tenuissi- 

 mis, minutis, rotundatis, denticulatis, apice fissis. 



Hab. Cayenne. Richard, Hook. Herb. 



Patch dark brown. Stems 1-2 inches long ; branches short. 

 Leaves loosely imbricated, flaccid, their cellules towards their 

 bases very large ; the dorsal margin is more curved than the 

 ventral. Stipules very thin, so as to be inconspicuous. It is 

 allied to L. tortuosa, L. et L., but the bifid stipules and more 

 minutely denticulate leaves, readily distinguish it. Perhaps 

 it were better placed in the next section. 



3. L. Dominghensis, Tayl. \ caule implexo, repente, vage 

 ramoso ; foliis imbricatis, erecto-patentibus, oblongis, apice 

 subdeflexis, rotundatis, integerrimis, basi sinuato-complica- 

 tis ; lobulis late ovatis, obtusissimis, inflexis ; stipulis 

 rotundatis, apice reflexis, integerrimis ; perichsetii foliis 

 lateralibus bilobis, lobis acuminatis, stipulari bifido ; peri- 

 goniis terminalibus ; calyce in ramulo terminali, immerso, 

 subsphasrico, apice corrugato. 



Hab. St. Domingo ; n. 38. Hook. Herb. 



Patches dusky yellowish-olive. Stems about 1 inch long, 

 scarcely pinnate. Leaves closely imbricated. Lobules with 

 mflexed, obtuse tops, pointing rather towards the stems. 

 Perigonia ovato-lanceolate. Calyx obovato-rotundate, the 

 laeinus of the mouth apiculate. Perichcetia large, concealing 

 the calyx, their leaves bilobate ; the lobule acuminate and 

 nearly as long as the greater lobe. This may be known from 

 the succeeding species by the lobules of the leaves pointing
