Jungermannia caule repente vage ramoso, foliis disti-

Has. In sinu Dusky bay dicto in Nova Zeelandia. D, Men- 
zies, 1791. 
Caules 3-pollicares, repentes, vage ramosi, ramis subattenuatis. 
Folia fusca, opposita, disticha, horizontalia, ovato-quadrata, 
apice bidentata, dentibus longis acutis, margine inferiore de- 
currente, superiore cum stipulis subquadratis, 5- vel 6-denta- 
tis coadunato. Substantia foliorum stipularumque mollis, 
areolis rotundatis grandiusculis reticulata. Calyx subcarnosus, 
nigro-fuscus, ex inferiore parte caulis, basi attenuata et squa- 
mis parvis instructa, ore 4-dentato, dentibus obtusis. 
This remarkable plant has certainly much resemblance to the 
J. connata of Swartz, which like this has the superior margin of 
the leaf united with the stipules, so that each pair of leaves with 
their stipules appear, especially from behind, like one perfoliate 
leaf. In Swartz’s plant, however, which is much smaller, the 
stipules are only bidentate, and the fructification is very dif- 
ferent.
