Hab. Hemiite Island, Cape Horn ; in tufts of mosses, &c.

Allied to /. leptantha, but a smaller plant, with leaves of a different shape, being narrower at the base and 

 deeply divided beyond the middle. The stipides are bipartite.

 magnified. 



50. Jungermannia sahdetorum, Hook. fil. et Tayl.; minima, caule caespitoso crassiusculo prostrato 

 ramoso, rainis ascendentibus apice recurvis, foliis approximatis subremotisve erecto-patentibus secundis sub- 

 quadratis angulis obtusis integerrimis apice retusis laxe cellulosis, stipulis minutis ovatis lanceolatisve bipar- 

 titis, segmentis subulatis incurvis. Nobis in Loud. Joum. Bot. vol. iii. p. 469. (Tab. CLVIII. Fig. VIII.) 



Hab. Falkland Islands ; on wet sand and clay-slate. 



Caspites sub 2 unc. lati, pallide flavo-virides. Caules breves vix \ unc. longi. Rami e caule prostrato erecti,

 retusa v. eniarginata, rarius rotundata, basi late adnata, laxe cellulosa, paria ultima saepissinia appressa, apicibus 

 ramulorum liinc compressis. Stipulce caule subangustiores. 



Perhaps the most minute of the Lophocolea, from all the species of which its habit and the form of the leaves 

 amply distinguish it. 



Plate CLVIII. Fig. VIII. — 1, plant of the natural size ; 2, portion of branch, leaves, and stipules ; 3, leaf ; 

 4, stipide : — magnified. 



51. Jungermannia rivalis, Hook. fil. et Tayl. ; flaccida, caXile caespitoso ascendenti v. erecto ramoso 

 gracili, foliis disticbis laxe imbricatis approximatisve inferioribus remotis teneribus flaccidis oblongo- 

 quadratis angulis obtusis integerrimis basi late aduatis decurrentibus apice retuso, stipulis ovatis bifidis 

 segmentis integerrimis v. extus uiiidentatis. Nobis in Lond. Joum. Bot. vol. iii. p. 469. (Tab. CLVIII. 

 Fig. VII.) 



Hab. Falkland Islands ; on wet rocks, &c, near the sea, abundant. 



Caspites laxi, basi saepe submersi, atro-fusci, superne pallide olivacei. Caulis 1-2 unc. longus, ramosus, ramis 

 erectis gracilibus, laxe foliosis. Folia tenerrima, membranacea et flaccida, minute areolata, basi lata decurreute, 

 oblongo-rotimdata v. subquadrata, apice plerumque obscure retusa. Stipula caule vix latiores, basi subrotuudatae, 

 v. late ovatse, bifidae ; segmentis integerrimis uni-dentatisve. 



AlHed to J.planitiscula (Pt. 1. t. 63. f. 2), which is a larger plant, with differently shaped stipides. Also near 

 the following, which, again, is smaller than either, with leaves of another form. 



Plate CLVIII. Fig. VII. — 1, plant of the natural size ; 2 and 3, leaves ; 4 and 5, stipules : — magnified.
