198 ox ANOMOCLADA. 



1. Marchantia polymorpha, L. — [Cosmopolitan, but not found in Equa- 



torial America out of the volcanic regions of the Andes, nor below 

 2000 metres.] 



2. Bumorticra hirsuta (Sw.), vars. — [In Europe, only in extreme -west : 



Ireland and Pyrenees; then, proceeding westward, in Carolina, 

 "W. Indies, Mexico, Andes (N. Granada to Cliili), Is^. Zealand, 

 Australia, Java, S. Africa. I gathered numerous forms in the 

 Andes, the most notable being one with a setose peduncle, but all 

 passing into one another.] 



3. PaUaricinin Lyellii {lloo]i..)=JJli/ttia, L., Syn. Hep. — [Cosmo- 



politan, but local. Brit. Isles, U.S. North America, j\Iexico, 

 Andes, N. Zealand, Australia, India, Greece, Germany. Descends 

 into Amazonian plain, but sterile. Abundant and fertile in lower 

 Peruvian Andes.] 



4. Fossomhronia piisilla (L. i — [Probably cosmopolitanj. 



f). Fridlania IIutchmsi(e (Hook.). — [Found nearly all round the globe, 

 but nowhere common. Europe : only on western side of I3rit. Is. ; 

 S. States America, Mexico, Equatorial Andes, Java. The New 

 Granadian F. ciliata, L. et G., Syn. Hep., 775, is not distinct. I 

 have gathered exactly the same form at Blackwater Bridge, Co. 

 Kerry.] 



6. Lejeunea fiava (Sw.). — There is a fine patch, with perianths, in Sir 



W. Hooker's herbarium, gathered at Killarney by the late Mr. 

 Mackay ; it quite agrees with Swartz's own specimen, from 

 Jamaica, in the same herbarium. [No other European locality 

 known. Probably grows in all tropical countries, and the eastern 

 Z. thymifolia is certainly not distinct. It is the commonest 

 Lpjeunea in the Amazonian plain, but barely struggles up to 

 4500 feet, at the base of Tunguragua, and (as may be supposed) 

 it varies considerably in character, but still between narrow and 

 easily-definable limits.]* 



7. Lejeunea orata, Tayl. — [Hitherto known only in the extreme west 



of Europe : Killarney and the Pyrenees, in both of which stations 

 I have gathered it, as well as in the Quitenian Andes.l 



8. LepidovAa cuprcssina (Sw.), var. — [Germany ?, Ireland, \V. Indies, 



^Mexico, Andes. ] 



9. Adelanthiis decipiena (Hook.). — [Cornwall. "\V. Ireland, ^y. Indies, 



Andes. All the Scotch and Welsh specimens I have seen under 

 this name are lorms o{ Plagiochila spinulosa (Dicks ).] 



10. Acrololbus Wilsoni (Tayl.). — [Only localities known: Killarney 



and Tunguragua ; but possibly overlooked in Europe for Jung, 

 capitata, Hook.] 

 On the same mountain, Tunguragua, I found but four Irish (and 

 European) Mosses, viz., Funaria hijgrometrica (L.), Ceratodon purpu- 



• Z. diversifolia, Gotts. in Mex. IjeyerTn. = Z. ciicuUata, Nees, var. stricta, 

 Syn. Hep., I several years aRO picked ofl" a patch of L. microscopica, Tayl., 

 gathered at Killarney by Taj'lor ; and it is the " 7y. jninuti'^sima, var tnaj ir," of 

 Carrington's " Gleanings anionfj the Iri.sh Cryptoj^ania. '' It has been gathered 

 in Virginia hj' Sullivant, and in JSlexico by Liebman, but I never found it in 

 iS. America, although pomo of my species are nearly allied to it. It is distinct 

 enough from every other European Lfjnivea, and also, I think, from the Javan 

 L. eu ulinln.
