FLORA 01? NEW ZEALAND. 



\HepaticcB. 



Hab. Northern Island, Colenso. Auckland, Br. Sinclair and Col. Bolton. 



Pallide viridis. Rami pollicares, parum ramosi, inferne radioellis purpureis vestiti. Foliola aocessoria ab 

 angulis decurrentibus folioram et ampHgastriomm orta. Folia involucralia non vaginantia, supremo magis den- 



tato-ciliato. 



The smallest of the New Zealand species, allied to G. Balfouriana, but differing in its much less dentato-ciliate 

 leaves and stipules.— Plate CII. Fig. 1 :— 1, plants, natural size; 2, a portion of tire stem with leaf, stipule, and 

 accessory leaflets, as seen on the ventral side ; 3, a leaf as seen on the dorsal side -.—both magnified. 



11. Gottschea replela, Hook. fil. et Tayl. ; caule erecto glabro CEespitoso ramoso, foliis irnbricatis 

 erecto-patentibus amplexicaulibus, lobo ventrali late ovato-lanceolato subacuto subtas apicem versus tn- 

 cristato cristis subintegerrimis dorsali foliigeno late ovato uniplicato utroque dentato, ampbigastriis imbri- 

 catis oblongis bifidis segrnentis bilaciniatis ciliatis.— G. L. et N. Syn. Hep. p. 622. Jungermannia repleta, 

 Tayl. Lond. Journ. Bot. 1844, p. 357. (Tab. CI. Kg. 3.) 



Hab. Northern and Middle Islands, Colenso. Port William, la/ all. 



Luteo-viridis. Rami adscendentes, 1-2-pollicares, inferne radicellis purpureis obsiti. Folia laxe imbricata, 

 marginibus pinnatifidis cristisque dentatis. Ampliigastria magna, profunde bipartita, laeiniis sinuatis dentatis. 



A larger plant than G. Balfouriana, with more pointed leaves, and a stem destitute of phyllidia. In habit it 

 resembles (?. Zehmamiam and G. Blumei.—PLATB CI. Kg. 3 :— 1, 2, plants, natural size; 2, a stipule; 4, leaves 

 as seen on both sides : — both magnified. 



Gen. XIV. POLYOTUS, Goltsche. 

 1. Polyotus clavigerus, Gotts. G. L. et N. Syn. Hep. p. 245. Hook Muse. Mot. t. 70. Flor. An- 



tarct.p. 163. 



Yar. a ; foliis omnibus integerrirnis. 



Var. /3. Stangeri; foliis ramulorum dentato-serratis. 



Yar. y. Taylori; foliis canlinis margine ventrali basin versus dentato-spinosis.— P. Taylori, G. L. el K 



Syn. Hep. p. 246. 



Hab. Northern and Middle Islands. Yar. a. Dusky Bay, Menzies. Yar. /3. Auckland, Sinclair, 

 Stanger {Herb. Gourlie). Yar. 7. Dusky Bay, Menzies. Milford Sound and Bligli's Sound, Lyall. Live 

 trees, Wairarapa forest, Colenso. 



A Campbell's Island plant.— After a careful examination, P. Taylori, Gottsche, has been referred to a denticu- 

 late state of P. clavigera, which was originally described with entire leaves. The stipules, like the leaves, are very 

 variable in their toothing, which is sometimes extended to the dorsal margin of the latter. Only one specimen has 

 been seen, which corresponds in every respect with the figure in ' Musci Exotici,' though many others have leaves for 

 the most part entire. 



2. Polyotus palpebrifolius, Gotts. G. L. et N. Syn. Hep. p. 246. Hook. Muse. JSxot. I. 71. Flor. 



Antarct.p. 443. 



Hab. Middle Island : Dusky Bay, Menzies. Thomson's Sound, Lyall. 

 Also found in the Straits of Magellan. 



3. Polyotus trachycladus, Gotts. G. L. et N. Syn. Hep. p. 247. 

 Hab. Northern Island : summit of Ruahine mountains, Colenso. 



The specimens of this very distinct species, although poor and imperfect, possess more resemblance to P. clavi- 

 gera in habit, than the original specimens from Tasmania, in Dr. GreviUe's Herbarium. 



4. Polyotus Magellanicus, Gotts. G. L. et N. Syn. Hep. p. 248. Lamarck Bncycl. Bot. v. 3. p. 284.
