Hab. Northern Island : Bay of Islands, Sinclair. 



No specimens of this are now in British Herbaria. The species, from the descriptions, seem to be very nearly 

 allied to L. anguifbrmis ; L. mollis also, excepting as regards the large cells attributed to its leaves, corresponds very 

 well with that species. 



7. Lejeunia olivacea, Hook. fil. et Tayl. ; caule implexo procumbente vage subpinnatim ramoso, foliis 

 imbricatis patentibus oblongo-ovatis apice rotundatis incurvis lobulo parvo ovato basi infiato integerrimo 

 apice acuto, amphigastriis orbiculari-obovatis, perianthio oblongo-obovato compresso dorso ventreque tri- 

 carinato, foliis involucralibus angustioribus acutis, amphigastrio ovato bidentato. — Load. Joum. Hot. 1844, 

 p. 568. G. L. et N. Syn. Hep. p. 334. (Tab. CIII. Tig. 1.) 



Hab. Northern Island : near Wellington, Stephenson, Colenso. 



Fusca. Caulis pollicaris, vage ramosus. Folia sicca rugulosa, apicibus incurvis marginibusque saspe decolo- 

 ratis albidis, lobulo tumido. Perianthium dorso carinis obtusis ventre acutioribus prEeditum. 



Nearly allied to L. scutellata in size, habit, and colour, but readily distinguished by its obtuse leaves, and by its 

 lobule being carried further along the ventral margin, and being unidentate. It more nearly resembles the European 

 L. Mackaii than any other species. — Plate CIII. Tig. 1 : — 1, stems, natural size ; 2, a portion with the leaves and 

 stipules ; 3, a perianth, with involucral leaves and stipule, as seen on the ventral side ; 4, a transverse section of the 

 upper part of the perianth : — all magnified. 



8. Lejeunia pulchetta, Mitten ; caule repente CEespituloso, foliis remotiusculis flexuosis ellipticis- ob- 

 tusis integerrimis lobulo parvo subquadrato bidentulo, amphigastriis nullis, perianthio laterali applanato 

 obconico retuso-emarginato marginibus integerrimis, foliis involucralibus minoribus angustioribus. (Tab. 

 CIII. Fig. Z.\ 



Hab. Northern Island : creeping over Hymenophyllum, Manawatu river, Colenso. 



Albida. Caulis linearis bilinearisve, pulvinatus. Folia tenera, incurva, recurva et varie modo flexuosa. Peri- 

 anthium superne obcordatum, eompressum, integerrimum. 



A most distinct little species, with something of the habit and look of the West Indian and Brazilian L. pellu- 

 cida, Meisner. It appears to grow in small loose pulveruli. — Plate CIII. Fig. 2 : — 1, plants, natural size, as seen 

 growing on the stipes of Iiymenophyllum ; 2, a portion of the stem with leaves ; 3, a portion of the stem with a 

 perianth, as seen on the ventral side : — both, magnified. 



9. Lejeunia Icevigata, Mitten; caule repente et cum foliis arctissime applanato kevissimo vage pinna- 

 tim ramoso, foliis suborbicularibus obtusissimis lobulo oblongo apice tridentato, amphigastriis nullis, peri- 

 anthio obconico turbinatove dorso depresso leevi ventre bicarinato, foliis involucralibus angustioribus lobis 

 obtusis integerrimis. 



Hab. Northern Island : Auckland, closely creeping over the fronds of a Trichomanes, Sinclair. On 

 leaves, with Metzgeria furcata, Tehawera, Colenso. 



Caulis fere pollicaris, linearis, vage ramosus, arctissime applanato-repens, lsevigatus. Folia imbricata, subro- 

 tunda, lobulo oblongo obovatove quadruplo minore. Perianthium obtusum, dorso planum, ventre plicis paryis ap- 

 pressis bicarinatum. 



Allied to L. pulchella, and, like it, destitute of stipules, but perfectly distinct in the form of its leaves and pe- 

 rianth. 



10. Lejeunia tumida, Mitten; caule repente ramoso, foliis ovatis apice rotundatis patentibus lobulo 

 subinflato apice inflexo, amphigastriis orbicularis bifidis laciniis acutis, perianthio oblongo-obovato tumido 

 apice parum retuso inferne cylindrico hevi superne obtusissime pentagono, foliis involucralibus lobulo lon- 

 giore obtuso, amphigastrio lanceolato bifido. (Tab. CIII. Fig. 3.)
