lOG TASMANIAN BRYOPHYTA, 



inm., dorsal base rounded and shortly connate with the 

 opposite leaf to free and decurrent, margin entire or with 

 1-2 small apical teeth to armed with 10-12 shorts teeth; 

 cells 18-30 IX., trigones very small concave; underleaf 

 broadly oblong to subrotund little broader than the stem, 

 apex with 2 slender lobes, margin usually 1-2 dentate. 

 West Coast. 



Chilo-iryphux 1 iuit)su.<, ('. ef i-*.— Very variable in siz© 

 and some details, often up to 10 cm., but sometimes small, 

 dark green. Leaves alternate plane, broadly ovate obtuse 

 or rarely with 1-2 apical teeth 2-3 mm., dorsal base free 

 shortly decurrent, ventral base shortly connate with the 

 underleaf ; cells 25-35 ^.., trigones small, concave rarely 

 convex; underleaf rolundo-quadrate 2-3 times as broad as 

 the stem, equally quadrifid or rather bifid with 1-2 mar- 

 ginal teeth rarely ven' small and shortly bifid. 



Very common on banks of streams. 



Australia. 



Chiloscyphus larns;. Mitt. — Small and delicate, usually 

 about 2 cm. long. Leaves alternate plane with a nearly 

 vertical insertion ovate-triansjular 1-1.5 mm., very thin 

 texture, usually iiTegularly trilobed, sometimes quadri- 

 lobed, lobes short broad acute, dorsal base free not decur- 

 rent, ventral base shortly connate with the underleaf ; 

 cells irregular mostly 40-50 /z., walls equally thickened, 

 cuticle thin, trigones none. Underleaf rather broader 

 than the stem, deeply bifid, lobes slender, margins often 

 unispinous. 



In shade the ultimate branches often very attenuated, 

 and the leaves reduced to subulate processes, 5 cells long 

 and 1 cell diameter. Also described in Stephani's Sp. Hep. 

 as Lo[)h<)C<)ha n'cymoufhiana. 



Common in damp shade. 



New Zealand. 



CJiiIo:>ri/pJni!i rcJiiiu-lJu.s (L. et G.), Mitt. — Small and

 Leaves alternate plane broadly ovate, 0.7-1 mm., marg;in 

 armed with unequal spines, dorsal base free, ventral 

 shortly connate with the underleaf, surface covered with 

 acute papillae; cells 16 ^.. walls thick, trigones none; 

 underleaves oblong twice as broad as the stem, lobes slender 

 armed with spines, margin similarh^ armed. 



Veiy like Lophorolcn luurirata, only leaves not bifid. 

 Perianth on a short basal branch, and cylindric not 

 trigonous as in that plant. 



Common in damp forests.
