plicate, ventral plait narrow, long, decurrcnt, dorsal plait 

 commonly obsolete. 



Not differing from Eulejeunia in any positive cnarac- 

 IGV. The two Tasmanian species may be distinguished by 

 the decurrent base of the lobule, the asymmetric leave®, 

 and the obovate underleaves.

 light livid green. Leaves little imbricate divaricate, 0.4 

 mm., broadly ovate, asymmetric, obtuse to subacute, the 

 apex incurved; lobule l-3rd as large as the leaf, inflated, 

 carina slightly arcuate, base decurrent, angle obtuse; 

 underleaves broadly obovate, hardly twice as broad as the 

 stem, shortly bifid, lobes very obtuse, oblong. 



Close to L. patens, TAinlh.

Cheilolejeunia weynujufhiaua, Sf. — ^Pallid green. 

 Leaves imbricate, very concave, broadly ovate, obtuse, 

 asymmetric, 1 mm., lobule l-3rd as large as the leaf, nar- 

 row ovate, carina little arcuate, base decurrent; under-

MiCROLEJEUNIA (SpRUCe) JaCK. ET St. 



Smal], slender, vaguely branched, forming dense mats. 

 Leaves small remote, lobule half to nearly as large as the 

 leaf inflated ; underleaves small rotund, deeply bifid. Per- 

 ianth pyriform, 5 keeled. 



The genus is very close to Eulejeunia, and often in- 

 cluded. 



Microlcjeunia, primore/ialis (Tai/L), Sf. — Leaves ovate 

 obtuse distant patent, 0.2-0.4 ram. ; lobule half as large as 

 the larger leaves, nearly as large as the smaller ones 

 strongly inflated ; underleaves little broader than the stem 

 deeply bifid.

"Drepanolejeunia (Spr.), Schtffn. 

 Plants usually minute. Leaves distant erecto-patent, 

 lanceolate with an incurved acute apex, margin often den- 

 tate ; lobule half as long as the leaf or more, ovate in-

 widely spreading. Perianth pyrifonm, 5 keeled above,
