~ This tall species is easily recognized by its deeply-cleft leaves and stipules, which being rather distant, the 

 stems have a different look from most others of the genus, and more nearly resemble Sendtnera ochroleuca, Nees. 

 Mo perianths have been seen, but very young involucra are present on some of the stems.— Plate C. Fig. 2 :— 1, a 

 plant, natural she; 2, a portion of the stem with leaves and stipules, magnified.

Hab. Northern Island : amongst L.pranitens [Herb. Le/imann], growing with L. lavifolia, in ravines 

 near Wellington, Stephenson. Forests, Manawatu and Tehawera, Colenso. Bay of Islands, J. B. H. 



It appears that this is the L. tetradactyla of Dr. Taylor, so far as relates to the New Zealand specimens, but is 

 not the plant described under that name from Lord Auckland's Island and Hermite Island, which is L. plumulosa, 

 Lehm. et Ldbg., a species not yet seen from New Zealand. In the ' Species Hepaticarum' {Lepidozia) of Lmden- 

 berg and Gottsche, a full description of this and the preceding species is given, and reference is made to figures 

 which, as in the case of L. dispar, Mont., have apparently not been published.
