392 NEW HEPATICiE. 



thin, their central cellules large. This resembles our Phray- 

 micoma cyclostipa, but the shoots are more elongated, the 

 leaves less imbricated, thinner, their margins more waved, 

 and their figure more round. 



8. L. Malaccensis, Tayl. ; caule implexo, procumbente, vage 

 subpinnato ; ramis rectiusculis ; foliis arete imbricatis, 

 verticalibus, erecto-patentibus, mollibus, concavissimis, 

 stipulisque obovato-rotundatis, integerrimis, margine tu- 

 rn en ti-inflexis ; lobulis minutis, ovatis, obtusissimis, invo- 

 lutis ; calyce terminali, immerso, obovato, supra compresso, 

 concavo, biplicato, infra ventricoso-carinato, carina 3-angu- 

 lata. 



Hab. On bark. Malaccas. Hook. Herd. 



Patches several inches wide, dark purplish-brown, some- 

 what shining when wet. Stems 1-2 inches long. Stipules im- 

 bricated. Margins of the perichsetial leaves inflexed. We know 

 not one of the Lejeunice with entire stipules to be compared 

 with the present for the very remarkably broad incurvation 

 of the ventral margin of its leaves ; nor have any the cells 

 so small, compared with the size of the plant. 



9. L. repleta, Tayl.; caule csespitoso, erecto, apice subin- 

 curvo, vage ramoso ; surculis adscendentibus, utrinque at- 

 tenuatis; foliis arete imbricatis, acinaciformibus, apice 

 oblique truncatis ; lobulis subquadratis, involutis ; stipulis 

 obovato- cordatis, margine recurvis ; perigoniis quam sur- 

 culis latioribus atque in surculos abeuntibus; calyce 

 axillari, subexserto, obovato, supra compresso, concavo, 

 subtus obtuse carinato, ore tubifero. 



Hab. Madras. Dr. Wight, Hook. Herb. 



Tufts dense, wide, blackish-brown. Stems 1-2 inches high. 

 The perigonia occur in the course of the shoots, their leaves 

 have large ventricose bases. Stipules oblong, with an obtuse 

 notch. Lateral perichaetial leaves acute. This resembles 

 Jung. Mans, Lehm. MSS. in Hook. Herb., from which it may 

 be known by the obliquely truncate leaves, and by the 

 lobule being larger and more acuminate, as well as by its 

 darker colour and finer shoots. From Ph. bicolor, Nees, rt
