13. JUNGERMANNIA sphalera, Hook. fil. et Tayl. ; caule laxe caespitoso erecto basi ramoso apice incurvo, 
foliis vix imbricatis subhorizontaliter patentibus secundis siccitate suberectis late oblique ovato-rotundatis 
acutis, apice inzequaliter bifido v. bidentato, margine superiore incurvo integerrimo, inferiore planiusculo 
dentato laxe celluloso. Nobis in Lond. Journ. Bot. vol 3. p. 458. (Tas. CLVI. Fig. VIII.) 
Has. Hermite Island, Cape Horn; growing amongst mosses in the woods. 
Ciespites laxi, pallide olivacei. Caules 1-2 unc. longi, raro in ramos 2-3 erectos divisi. Rami compressi, 
recti v. curvati, apieibus rotundatis. Folia remotiuscula, madore patentia, sed secunda, apicibus subrecurvis, basi 
contracta, margine inferiore grosse irregulariter serrato. 
Nearly allied to J. uncialis, but taller, with the leaves more remote, less imbricated and secund, more loosely 
cellular and not so strongly dentate. When moistened the differences are more apparent, the leaves in particular 
of J. sphalera being distinetly narrowed at the base, 
Prats CLVI. Fig. VIIL—1, plant of the natural size; 2 and 3, front view of leaf, and portion of stem; 4, the 
same detached from the stem:—magnified. 
14. JUNGERMANNIA wncialis, Hook. fil. et Tayl.; caule breviusculo ceespitoso suberecto v. prostrato et 
ascendente ramoso, foliis imbricatis erecto-patentibus concavis late ovatis acutis argute irregulariter ciliato- 
dentatis sublaxe cellulosis, margine inferiore subrecurvo, calyce majusculo terminali compresso late obovato, 
ore oblique subrotundato dentato-ciliato. Nobis iz Lond. Journ. Bot. vol. 8. p. 459. (Tas. CLVI. Fig. VII). 
Has. Hermite Island, Cape Horn; on damp rocks and the trunks of trees. 
Cspites late extensi, pallide flavo-virescentes. Caules vix 1 unc. longi, subprostrati, rarius erecti, vage ramosi, 
ramis fructiferis subfastigiatis. Folia vix decurrentia, pericheetialia calyce + breviora. Calyx obovato-cuneatus, com- 
pressus, ore obtuse rotundato, oblique fisso, serrulato. Capsula oblongo-spheerica, vix exserta. Perigonia in spicas 
breves secus ramos disposita. 
In habit the present approaches the African P. sarmentosa, Lindb., but in character it is more nearly allied to 
our Tasmanian J. aculeata. The former, whose fructification is unknown, has larger and more rounded leaves. The 
J. aculeata is a much larger plant; its leaves have a narrower base, and their superior margin is recurved with a 
broader fold, the denticulation is coarser, and calyx shorter, being scarcely exserted beyond the pericheetial leaves ; 
above all, the cellulation of the J. «cialis is much coarser though belonging to a smaller plant.

Has. Strait of Magalhaens ; D’ Urville. 
A very different plant from any collected by the Antarctic Expedition. 
16. JUNGERMANNIA minutula, Hook. fil. et Tayl; ceespitosa, caule brevissimo erecto parce ramoso, 
foliis imbricatis erectis appressis obovato-rotundatis convexiusculis, margine anteriore subdecurrente poste- 
riore recurvo, supremis majoribus denticulatis. Nobis in Lond. Journ. Bot. vol. 3. p. 459. (Tas. CLVII. 
Fig. I). 
Has. Kerguelen's Land ; on the ground and on moist rocks. 
Ceespites late extensi, atro-virides. Caules erecti, crassiusculi. Rami primarii vix 4 unc. longi. Folia inferiora 
minuta, subintegerrima, caule vix latiora, gradatim majora, superiora arctius imbricata, in capitulum compressum 
dilatatum congesta, superiora crenato-denticulata, omnia crassa, obscure cellulosa; cellulis parvis, opacis, margina- 
libus conspicuis.
