88. Jtjngeemannia alcicornis, Hook. fil. et Tayl. ; fronde ctespitosa erecta alterne bipinnatim ramosa, 

 caule ramisque linearibus laciniis lobisve brevibus subtruncatis, calyptris lateralibus linearibus albidis sca- 

 bridis apice laceris. Nobis m Bond. Joum. Bot. vol. iii. p. 479. (Tab. CLX. Fig. VIII.) 



Hab. Hermite Island, Cape Horn; mossy places in the woods. 



Frondes caespitosi, planiusculi, unciales, circumscriptione oblongi, juniores laete virides, demum fuscescentes et 

 siccitate nigrescentes. Rami seu lachua; basi subdichotomi, superne subpinnatim divisi ; lobidis brevibus, obtusis. 

 Calyptra parte frondis inferiore laterales, valde elongata?, cylindracea?, basi curvatae, carnosae, papIUosae. Seta sub 

 \ unc. longa. Capmla cylindracea. 



A very beautiful little species, allied to the J.pahuata, Hoffm., of Europe; bnt much more divided, with the 

 divisions pinnate and not palmate ; the lobules also are much narrower, and the calyptra is borne higher up in the 

 frond.

90. Jusgekmannia prel/ensilis, Hook. fil. et Tayl.; fronde laxe csespitosa, rainis erectis incurvis alatis, 

 lobis secundis alternis pinnatis, pimuuis linearibus planis crassinerviis, calyptra e basi anguste elongato- 

 obovata basi squamosa, perigoniis clavatis. Nobis in Bond. Joum. Bot. vol. iii. p. 480. (Tab. CLX. 

 Fig. IX.) 



Hab. Hermite Island, Cape Horn ; on moist banks near the sea. 



Frondes laxe csespitosi, apicibus latiusculis hamatis. Caulis planus, brunneus, pubescens, pinnulis glabratis 

 pallide olivaceis. Calyptra brunneae, apices versus frondis laciniarum basi superficie inferiore sitae, hinc occlusae, 

 interdum binae. Perigonia plantis aliis obvia, clavata, e ramo pinnato frondis constantia, lobulis pinnisve incurvis 

 singvdis antheram majuscidam sphericam pedicellatam foventibus. 



A remarkably distinct and fine species, most resembling the /. eriocaula, Hook., of New Zealand ; though the 

 frond is of a darker colour aud tripimiate, the pinnules much narrower, and the whole plant more elongated and 

 divided. The perigonia and calyptra? occupy similar positions on different plants.

(17. Noteroclada, Tayl.) 



Involucrum apicem versus frondis concavi tumidi inflatum, ore libero sub-bilobo. Capmla quadrivalvis, seu 

 irregulariter mmpens, pedicellata. Elateres spirales seminibus immixtae. Antherce fronde immersae. Frons piunatim 

 lobata, v. foliis basi latissimis longe decurrentibus subspiraliter dispositis ornata. — Stirps inter Jungermannias 

 foliosas frondosasque quasi media, histamen accedens. — Androcryphia, GottscJie.
