NEW HEPATIC^E. 391 



calyx are very distinctive. It may he observed that in the 

 Synopsis Hepaticarum, p. 297, under Phragmicoma versicolor , 

 L. and L., are given " Jung, auriculata. Wils. MSS." and 

 " Phragmicoma spathulistipa, var. /3, Nees in Herb. Wight 

 (an species distincta) V These two, however, appear to be 

 distinct species ; for the former has the leaves more closely 

 imbricated, longer, deflexed, and their cellules far more mi- 

 nute. It is uncertain which of the two is described in the 

 Synopsis. 



6. L. eulopha, Tayl. ; caule disperso, procumbente vage ra- 

 moso ; foliis imbricatis, patentibus, oblongis, apice recur- 

 vis, integerrimis ; lobulis involutis, ovatis, acutis, apice 

 folio incumbentibus ; stipulis majoribus late rotundatis, 

 integerrimis; foliis pericheetialibus anguste oblongis acu- 

 tiusculis, stipulari majori, omnibus recurvis, dentatis; 

 calyce terminali, oblongo-obcordato, quadrialato, alis cris- 

 tatis, cristis pinnatifido-dentatis. 



Hab. Pacific Isles. Nightingale, Hook. Herb. 



Patches very loose, creeping among Musci, brown, turning 

 white when old. Stems 1-2 inches long; shoots complanate. 

 Lobule of the leaf inflexed and tumid next to the stem, but 

 exteriorly lying flat on the leaf, as in certain Radulce. Peri- 

 chtetia terminal, large, the lobule subulate and acuminate. 

 This may be compared with Jung, transversalis, Sw. ; it is, 

 however, a smaller plant, with leaves wider at their summits, 

 and the calyces have more compound crests. 



7. L. tenuifolia, Tayl.; caule laxe implexo, procumbente, 

 vage ramoso ; foliis laxius imbricatis, patentibus, tenuibus, 

 ex angusta basi rotundatis, integerrimis, margine subflex- 

 uosis, basi sinuato-complicatis, decurrentibus ; lobulis 

 subquadratis, inflexis, unidentatis ; stipulis majoribus, sub- 

 rotundis, margine subundulatis, integerrimis; perigoniis 

 lateralibus, sessilibus, minutis, surculo angustioribus, bre- 

 vibus, ovato-linearibus, obtusis. 



Hab. On Musci, Casapi. Mathews, Hook. Herb. 



Patches loose, dusky olive-green. Stems about 1 inch 

 long; branches few, irregular in length. Leaves flattish,
