REPORT ON THE BOTANY OF JUAN FERNANDEZ AND M ASA KU ERA. 85 



A small species, iu all the specimens of a brown colour, which may have been induced 

 by their treatment as packing material ; it is closely allied to a number of other South 

 American species of about the same stature, but in the outline of the apices of its leaves, 

 which is similar to that of Loplmcolea hiirzii, S. Lac, it agrees with none, and its 

 perianth is without the winged angles so usual in them. 



Chiloscypnus rotundifolius, Mitt., n. sp. 



Prostratus, repens ; folia explanata, suborbiculata, integerrima ; amphigastria caulem 

 parum latiora, bifida, laciniis extus inferne breviter unidentatis liberis ; perianthium in 

 ramo brevi laterale; foliis involucralibus oblongis, amphigastrio sub-ovato quadridentato 

 oblon^o trigono, labiis rotundatis breviter dentatis. 



Juan Fernandez. — Creeping amongst mosses — Mr W. Saunders' collector. 



A species in its size, and in the form and substance of its leaves and mode of growth, 

 closely resembling the European Chihscyphus polyanthus; but with its perianth and 

 involucral leaves quite different. 



Jungerruannia oenops, Lindenb. et Gottsche. 



Jungermannia oenops, Lindenb. et Gottsche in G. L. et N. Synopsis Hepat., p. 673. 



Juan Fernandez. Bertero ; Moseley. Small barren blackened specimens. 

 It closely resembles Jungermannia colorata. 



Jungermannia fernandeziana, Mitt., n. sp. 



Caulis satis crassus, elongatus, procumbens ; folia semiverticalia, explanata vel sursum 

 secunda, ovata, apice sinu parvo obtuso bidentata, cellulis rotundatis limitibus latiusculis 

 pellucidis. 



Caulis 2-3 cm. longus, simplex vel divisse. Folia 1 mm. longa, sicca parum mutata, 

 pallide fusca. 



Juan Fernandez. — A few barren stems — Moseley. 



A very distinct species, but of very uncertain genus. The areolation is of cells vari- 

 able in size, but all, like their wide walls, pellucid. There is no amphigastnum. 



Calypogeia fistulata, Mitt., n. sp. 



Caulis procumbens, radicellis pallidis ad' terram adherens ; folia .sursum incurva, 

 explanata, patentia, approximate imbricata, ovato-oblonga, obtusa, marginibus dorsalibus 

 basi approximatis liberis, ventralibus imbricatis caulem tegentibus ; perianthium e caulis 

 medio descendens, elongatum, radiculosum.
