52 THE CRYPTOGAMIC FLORA OF KENT. 



Rocks was j)roducing capsules freely in December, 1877, these 

 being stated iii 'Brit. Jung.' to be " extremely rare." The con- 

 spicuous yellow gemmse and the involute margins of the leaves 

 distinguish this species from J. excisa, Dicks, which is not a good 

 species. Dr. Gottsche states that the J. ventricosa may be dis- 

 tinguished from its allies by the violet colour of the cortical layer 

 of the stem. 

 J. CAPITATA, Hook. J. intermedia var. ccqntata, Nees. 



In small pale green patches on turfy soil and among rocks ; 

 rare. Spring. Brit. Jung. t. 80. 



Hungershall Rocks ; Jenner Ft. Tunhr. 



Has the pale green colour of J. incisa, but differs in the seg- 

 ments of the leaves not being jagged, and in the leaves having 

 cellules as large as those of C. hicusjndata.

 and echinulate spores.
