Vrndis vel pallide fuscus. Caulk sesquipollicaris, repens. Folia arete imbricate, apice sinu obtuso obliquo bi- 

 dentata, dentibus brevibus spinosis, e cellulis majusculis interstitiis angustis areokta. AmpMgastria parva, spinoso- 

 quadridentata. Perianthium breviter campanulatum, superne paullulum coarctation, ore ciliis paucis brevibus dentato 

 Odor pungens, piperaceus. 



In size and general appearance not unlike Lophocolea biientata, but its leaves are much more closely imbricated 

 and of a different texture; in the last particular it has the closest affinity with 0. aculeatus, 0. Lyallii, and C. tri- 

 spinosus.-PLA.iE XCVIII. Fig. 6 :— 1, a plant, natural size; 2, a portion of the stem with leaves; 3, a portion of 

 the leaf with cells -.—both magnified.

11. GMoscyphus physanthus, Mitten; ca.ule repente ramoso, foliis imbricatis ovatis apice spinoso- 

 bidentatis cum amphigastriis spinoso-quadridentatis utrinque anguste coalitis, perianthio campanulato ore 

 lacmiis dentatis incurvis, foliis involucralibus quadridentatis, amphigastrio ovato bidentato.— Lophocolea

Vmdis, dein fuscescens. Caulis uncialis. Folia dentibus divergentibus, sinu obtuso. AmpMgastria profunde 

 bifida, basin versus extus utrinque uni- rarius bidentata, basi anguste in folia subjecta decurrentia. PeriantMum 

 superne subplicatum. Capsula elliptica. 



As in C. chlorophyllus, the habit of this species is more like that of the lesser species of Lophocolea with biden- 

 tate leaves ; but the form and position of the perianth are altogether those of Chiloscypkm. The laciniEe at the mouth 

 of the perianth are strongly dentate, but not ciliate, nor is the resemblance to Lophocolea multipenna, which Dr. Taylor 

 notices, very marked.— Plate XCVIII. Fig. 7 :— I, a plant, natural size ■ 2, a portion of the stem with leaves and 

 stipule ; 3, a perianth with capsule and involucral leaves :— loth magnified.

A small species, allied in size and in its papillate leaves to Lophocolea muricata, but with the campanulate 

 lateral perianth of Chiloscyphus.
