THE LEJEUNEA OF LINDENBERG S HERBARIUM. 



often produced by the variable abbreviations of different writers. 

 Lindenberg abbreviated his own name Ldbg. and also Ldg. 

 Stephani insists upon the universal use of the former ; Carrington, 

 Spruce, and others, have been in the habit of writing Lindenb., 

 which permits of no misunderstanding ; while Lindb. should stand 

 for Lindberg. In the ' London Catalogue ' Lindenbg. is used for 

 Lindenberg, whereas sometimes Lindbg., and at other times 

 Lindb., stands for Lindberg. There can be no doubt, therefore, 

 some uniformity in the use of the abbreviations is desirable. 



Thysanthus anguiformis Tayl., Thysanolejeunea Spruce, Nova 

 Zelandia, Colenso. A true Thysanthus. Per. (plants j unions) in 

 dichotomia, triquetra, plica ventralis plicatulis 2 vel 3 composita, 

 superne remote dentata vel spinosa ; folia acuta integerrima. 



T. scutellatus Tayl., Nova Zelandia. Does not belong to this 

 subgenus, but to Archilejeunea Spruce. Per. inferiora in dichotomia 

 superiora tamen monotropa ventre bicarinata, inermia. Foliorum 

 lobulus folio triplo brevior, oblongus, involutus, in foliis inferi- 

 oribus parvus vel nullus. 



T. ophiocephalus Tayl., Nova Zelandia. Also belongs to 

 Archilejeunea, and indeed is the male plant of L. olivacea Tayl., 

 therefore must be cancelled. 



Phragmicoma acutiloba (Tayl.), Homalolejeunea Spruce, St. 

 Helena. 



P. baccifera Tayl., Nova Hollandia. A true Platylejeunea, with 

 which Taylor's description of the perianth altogether agrees. 



P. repleta (Tayl.), Madras, Wight. Belongs to Mastigolejeunea 

 Spruce. This plant is a good species, and not identical with 

 M. humilis (G.), nor M. auriculata (Wils.). 



P. ustulata Tayl., Brachiolejeunea Spruce. Philippine Islands. 



P. testudinea Tayl., Para, not Cincinnati, is Pycnolejeunea 

 macroloba N. & M. 



Lejeunea cyclostipa Tayl., Para, Archilejeunea Auberiana Mont. 

 pp. and Lojjholejennea Sagraana Mont. pp. 



L. tenuifolia Tayl., 340 Casapi. An indifferent specimen of 

 Omphalolejeunea Jiliformis (Sw.) ; the species has therefore to be 

 cancelled. 



L. rotalis Tayl. to Archilejeunea Spruce. 



L. malaccensis Tayl. 436, Malacca, is identical with Aero- 

 lejeunea Cumingiana Mont. ; the amphigastria are not obovato- 

 rotunda, as Taylor says, but basi distincte angustata. 



L. Domingensis Tayl. 470, St. Domingo. Identical with Acro- 

 lejeunea polycarpa N. 



L. LiNGUiEFOLiA Tayl. 474. St. Thomas. Identical with 

 Brachiolejeunea corticalis L. & L. 



L. olivacea Tayl,, belongs to Archilejeunea Spruce. The cross- 

 section of the perianth shows upon the ventral folds yet smaller 

 and shorter ones which look like rough protuberances ; Mitten 

 describes the perianth upon these grounds (Handb. N. Z. Flora, 

 p. 532), as 3-ribbed on either face; the plant has branches 

 produced from its base whose leaves have very small rudimentary 

 lobules ; such a specimen Mitten probably had before him, when
