 Hab. On bark. Van Diemen's Land. Gum. 1832. 



Patches minute, pale olive-green. Stems 1 inch long; 

 branches short, patent. Leaves, when moistened, rising up 

 into a semivertical position, slightly concave ; on the upper 

 surface each leaf crosses the stem by a flat, round, incurved 

 process, which thus embraces the stem. Perichsetial leaves 

 round, recurved, the auricle erect, lanceolate, toothed on the 

 interior margin ; the stipular lanceolate, bifid, the segments 

 dentate. Calyx conspicuous, having several longitudinal 

 plaits, especially on the inferior side. Differs from F. squar- 

 rosula, Tayl., from New Zealand, by the less imbricated 

 leaves, the longer auricles, by the subdentate segments of the 

 stipules, and by the more oblong and more ribbed calyx, 

 whose tube at its mouth is longer. 



5. F. microscypha, Tayl. ; caule implexo, procumbente, vage 

 ramoso ; foliis imbricatis, patentibus, subrotundis, concavis, 

 integerrimis ; auriculis galeiformibus folii partem tertiam 

 eequantibus; stipulis minutis, bifidis, segmentis ovatis, 

 acutis; calyce terminali, rotundato-obcordato, sursum 

 alato, tubifero, perichajtium superante. 



Hab. On bark. North America. J. Drummond. Hook. Herb. 

 Patches small, dark purplish-brown. Stems scarcely ex- 

 ceeding 3 lines in length. Leaves in an increasing series to 

 the top of the stem. Differs from F. fragilifolia, Tayl., by 

 the perichaetial leaves being entire, and by the short calyx, 

 winged above.
