16. Fmllania comigera, Mitten; canle procumbente, ramis remotis pinnatim ramosis, foliis iinbricatis 

 divergentibus rotundo-ovalibus apice rotundatis incurvis tenuissime hyalino-marginatis lobulis binis tubulo- 

 sis attenuatis apicibus decnrvatis lobulo externo deflexo interno patulo, amphigastriis renifonni-rotundatis 

 integris integerrimisque apicibus subrecurvis. (Tab. CIY. Fig. 8.) 



Hab. Northern and Middle Islands : Bay of Islands, J. D. H. Amongst Sendtnera attenuata, Port 

 Cooper, Byall. 



Fusco-olivacea, opaca. Caulis biuncialis, ramis brevibus remotis patentibus. Folia minutissime areolata, 

 opaea, amphigastriisque tenuissime hyalino-marginata. Lobuli tubulosi, apice decurvi, basi cauli contigui, intense 

 fusci. 



A most remarkable species, so remote from all others that it may form a distinct genus if the perianth should 

 prove sufficiently different from that of Frullania. The curious tubular lobules, the outer of which is very much 

 deflexed, whilst the inner is only patent, correspond to those usually found in the genus, excepting that they are 

 open at the summit, and not at the base; in this particular it recedes more from Frullania than in the lobules being 

 double, for the inner lobule may be supposed to be formed of that slender lacinia which is probably present in all 

 Fridlania, although hitherto only ascribed to those in which it is evident. — Plate CIV. Fig. 8 : — 1, a stem, natural

Hab. Northern Island : banks, wet palings, etc., East Coast, Ahuriri, Hawke's Bay, etc., Colenso. 

 (A native of England.) 



Some of the specimens referred to this species do not exactly correspond in appearance with. British examples, 

 but there seems to be no real difference in the form of their leaves or perianth. It has been found in the remote 

 island of Kerguelen's Land, but hitherto in no other Antarctic island. 



2. Fossombronia intestinalis, Taylor ; caule simplici divergenti-furcatove, foliis adscendentibus plicato- 

 convolutis undulatis inciso-lobatis, lobis acutis, perianthio campanulato crenato. — Lond. Journ. Bot. 1846, 

 p. 408. G. L. et N. Syn. Hep. p. 469 et 785. 



Hab. Northern Island : Bay of Islands, J. B. II. ? 



Frondes 3-4 tineas longee, radicellis purpuras terrse adfixas. Gapsula sphaerica, irregulariter dehiscens ; se- 

 mina muricata. Elateres longius quam in F. pusilla. 



Eeadily distinguished from F. pusilla by its rather closely imbricated tumid leaves.
