Tayl. (/. socia. var., Gottscbe, Lind. et Nees), differing in the paler green colour of the young shoots, in the 

 more delicate foliage, smaller areola;, deeper emargination and clasping leaves.

28. Jungermannia atistrigena, Hook. fil. et Tayl. ; laxe casspitosa, caule elongate ascendente sub-

 marginibus recurvis perichaetialibus rotundatis, stipulis majoribus rotundatis, marginibus reflexis integerri-

 Nobis in Lond. Journ. Bot. vol. 3. p. 463 et 466. (Tab. CLVII. Fig. VII. and Tab. CLVIII. Fig. V). 



Hab. Hermite Island, Cape Horn; moist banks in woods (fruit). Falkland Islands, along with/. 

 humect ata. 



Csespites laxi, lati, pallide flavidi, virides v. atro-brunnei. Caules 2-3 unc. longi, vage ramosi, flexuosi, cras- 

 siusculi. Folia arete imbricata, subopposita, antice deeurrentia , siccitate plerumque erispata, recurva ; madore sub- 

 erecta, appressa, marginibus plus minusve recurvis. Stipules rotundatae, basi utrinque decurrentes, integerrima; v. 

 apice bidentatse, marginibus valde deflexis porrectis, intra margiues posticos foliorum verticaliter compressse. Calyx 

 majusculus, oblongus, latiusculus, trigonus. 



A very curious species, and unlike any with which we are acquainted. The habit of the Falkland Island speci- 

 mens when dried, is, owing to their having grown in water, so peculiar, that we regarded them at first as a 

 different species, which we described as /. cavispina, from the reflexed margins of the closely imbricating stipules, 

 giving a grooved appearance to the back of the stem. The calyx is that of a LopJwcolea, from which group the 

 presence of stipules and the entire leaves remove it.

29. Jungermannia palustris, Hook. fil. et Tayl. ; caule elongate disperso flaccido ramoso, foliis laxe 

 imbricatis erecto-patentibus tenuissime membranaceis rotundatis valde concavis marginibus incurvis medio 

 longitudinaliter undulatis integerrimis, stipulis majoribus ovalibus cymbiformibus integerrimis. Nobis in 

 Lond. Journ. Bot. vol. 3. p. 464. (Tab. CLVII. Fig. VIII). 



Hab. Hermite Island, Cape Horn; on the borders of an alpine lake, growing in the water. 



Caules inter Muscos aliasque Hepaticas demersas ascendentes, sparsi, 3 unc. longi ; ramis erectis, flaceidissimis. 

 Folia tumida, varie incurva, medio plerumque plica longitudinali notata. Stipula valde concavse, subimbricatae. 



Allied to the British J. Doniana, and to the /. iweolutifolia, Mont. (v. infra), but very distinct from both. 

 The leaves resemble those of Hypnum coclilearifolium, Schwaegr.
