B. FiLiciNA (Sw.) Nees, Syn. Hep. 284 (1845). Jungermannia 

 Jilicina, Wilson in Hook, f. (3), 165. — James Isl. : Darwin. Widely 

 distributed in tropical America. 



B. GALAPAGANA, Gottsche, Ann. Sci. Nat. ser. 4, viii. 341 (1857). 

 Listed by Wilson in Hook. f. (3), 165, as Jungermannia filiciyia, var.

 the Andes.

 Ids. : Darwin. Also found in the Andes. Jungermannia pungens., 

 Wils. in Hook. f. (3), 165, collected on Charles Isl. by Darwin, is 

 apparently a synonym of this species.

 Endemic. 



F. tamarisci (L.) Dum. Recueil d'Obs. 13 (1835). —This widely

 A Javan species. Its occurrence on the Galapagos Ids. is considered 

 doubtful by Schiffner (cf. Conspect. Hepat. Arch. Ind. 348).
