140 CRYPTOGAMIA ANTARCTICA. : [Fuegia, the 7 
91. JUNGERMANNIA confluens, Tayl. in Lond. Journ. Bot. vol.iii. p.478. (TAs.CLXI. Fig. VILin part.) 
Has. Hermite Island, Cape Horn; on the bare ground in woods, Falkland Islands and Christmas 
Harbour, Kerguelen’s Land; on moist banks. 
Laxe cespitosa. Frondes flaceidissimi, 2 unc. longi, erecti. Caulis simpliciusculus, foliis imbricatis omnino 
occlusus, subrufescens, gracilis. Folia alterna, tenerrima, madore carnosiuscula, siccitate membranacea, ægre resus- 
citentia, et inter se quasi confluentia (hinc frons prima visu continua et lobata), basi latissima, bis latiora quam 
longa, longe decurrentia, fere amplexicaulia, semi-orbicularia, apice rotundata v. retusa, areolis majusculis. Involu- ۱ 
crum terminale, sessile, erectum, cylindraceum, compressum, ore eroso-dentato. Seta uncialis, gracilis. Capsula strat 
ovato-globosa, irregulariter v. regulariter rumpens. Elateres brevissimi. Calyptra irregulariter rupta, parte superiore a albis 
stylo persistente terminata. Anthere ovato-oblonge, biseriales, substantia frondis immerse, liquido oleaginoso 
scatentes. j 
A genus allied to Fossombronia, but the structure of the involucre, apparently formed very much out of the i | " 
frond itself, is quite dissimilar. The involucre is terminal in this species, but lateral in a Brazilian congener, which | 8 
was long regarded as identical, and smooth; when terminal, winged from the adhesion to its surface of the upper pli 
abbreviated leaves : it is either truncated or obscurely two-lipped. The young spores are united by fours in a 
transparent membrane. The drawing of the fruit is taken from Brazilian specimens of an allied species, or perhaps m 
variety, collected by Mr. Gardner; the leaves of the Antarctic plant having become so firmly united under pressure, ۱ 
that no maceration would separate them satisfactorily. sel 
In the ‘Synopsis Hepaticarum’ of Nees, Lindenberg and Gottsche, the generic name has been changed to ki 
Androcryphia, with the following explanation. “ Noteroclada nomen Græce cum sonet neque Greci esse possit i 
originis, (scil vöros tergum non dat vorepov, neque xAddov sive rami character hoc loco succurrit) ; substituere te 
aliud nomen segre id quidem mecum sustinui." (Z. c. p. 470.) The derivation of the name being, however, vornpös di 
“ madidus," sufficiently vindicates the adoption of Noteroclada. 
Prats CLXI. Fig. VII. (in part.)—1, Brazilian, and 2, Falkland Island specimen, of the natural size ; 3, branch, 3 
leaves, &c., of the Brazilian specimen; 4, leaf of ditto ; 5, corolla of ditto :— magnified. 
(18. FossomBRONIA, Nees.) 
92. JUNGERMANNIA pusilla, L. 
Haz. Kerguelen’s Land; on banks amongst moss, &c. 
Also a native of New Zealand, and probably not an uncommon plant in the temperate parts of the Southern f 
as it is of the Northern hemisphere. 1

Haz. Fuegia, the Falkland Islands, and Kerguelen’s Land; very abundant. i 
This is perhaps the most widely dispersed of Hepatice, ranging from the Arctic circle to the 57th degree of | 
south latitude. E

3. ANTHOCEROS, Michel. 
1. ANTHOCEROS punctatus, L. n 
Has. Hermite Island, Cape Horn, and the Falkland Islands; very common.
