166 FLORA ANTARCTICA. [Auckland and 



Caspiies parvi, pallide olivaceo-virides. Caules sub J- unc. longi, ramis divaricatis. Folia remota, suberecta, 

 anguste obovata, lobo inferiore extus ad inflexionem dento obtuso aucto. 



The miimte size, more erect, narrow and more distant leaves, will readily distinguish this species from small 

 states of /. serpyllifolia, even in the absence of fructification. 



75. Jungermannia albo-virens, Hook. fil. et Tayl. ; minima, caulibus implexis prostratis rainosis, foliis 

 laxis patentibus valde concavis oblongis apice rotimdatis integerrimis, lobulis involutis ovatis tumidis, stipu- 

 lis exiguis oblongis bifidis segmentis obtusis acutisve, calyce in ramo brevi proprio terminali obovato-elongato 

 basi angustato apice quadriplicate tubuloso. (Tab. LXVI. Fig. IV.) 



Hab. Lord Auckland's group ; on rocks at the summits of the mountains, mixed with other J anger - 

 manniee. 



Laxe cellulosa. Caules per plantas alias dispersi, non csespitosi, pallide flavo-olivacei, 2-3 lin. longi, siccitate 

 fragiles, irregulariter ramosi, ramis remotis. Folia basi semiamplexicaulia et subsaccata, superne oblonga et rotun- 

 data, apicibus plerumque reeurvis, cellulis majusculis aquosis. Stipula cauli arete appressse, inconspicuse, oblonga?, 

 caule vix latiores. Ferichatii foliola tria, lateralibus erectis concavis obtusis lobulo acuto intus auctis, tertio v sti- 

 pulari oblongo bifido stipulis omnino conforrni sed majore. Calyx apice tubulosus, demum in lacunas quatuor de- 

 hiscens. Capsula spherica, pallide brimnea, valvis basi coadunatis. Senium majuscula, pauca, angulata ; filis spira- 

 libus paucis, diametro \ seminiun. 



Very nearly allied to the J. ulicina, Tayl. (./. minutisshna, Brit. Jung.), preferring also wet mosses on which to grow. 

 The British plant may be distinguished by its smaller size, the larger cells of the leaves, which are not so concave 

 and subacute, whilst then lobulus has a sharp process or tooth at the point of involution, also by the more divided 

 stipules, whose segments are acuter, and by the recurved perichsetial leaves.

76. Jungermannia latitans, Hook. fil. et Tayl. ; minima, caule tenuissimo prostrato ramoso, foliis 

 remotiusculis suberectis celluloso-crenulatis ovatis acutis apicibus seepe incurvis, lobulis ovatis involutis, sti- 

 pulis inconspicuis bifidis segmentis lanceolatis obtusis, foliis perichsetialibus late obovato-cuneatis acuminatis. 



Hab. Lord Auckland's group; mixed with other Hejiaticce. 



Cellulosa, minima. Caspites laxi, dispersi, planiuscub, pallide virescentes. Folia remotiuscula, longitudine 

 varia, acuta v. acuminata, cellulis preecipue versus margines majusculis tumidis et prominentibus, hinc folia subcre- 

 nata, lobulo a latitudine folii. Stipula valde inconspicure, caule vix latiores. Perichatii foliola ramis anni pnece- 

 dentis terminalia, erecta, obovata, acuminata, lateralia incurva, tertio oblongo concavo bifido. 



Closely resembling the /. kamatifolia, Hook. ; but the leaves are much broader. From /. echinata, Tayl., it 

 may be known by the presence of stipules ; from /. albo-virens, by its smaller size, more cellular texture, and acute 

 leaves. 



77. Ju>*GERMAKNiA plicatiloba , Hook. fil. et Tayl.; caulibus implexis procumbentibus vage ramosis, 

 foliis laxis erecto-patentibus valde concavis rotundato-quadratis subtruueatis integerrimis, lobo inferiore in- 

 curvo apice angidato superiori subrequali basi tumido appresso, stipulis exiguis emarginato-bifidis segmentis 

 linearibus subincur\is. 



Hab. Lord Auckland's group ; on Parmelia intestiniformis, Acli. 



Caspites minuti, laxi, pallidi. Caules vix \ unc. longi. Folia remota. Stipulce minima;.
