 complicate, the lobes subovate, spiuulose-denticulate ; perianth large, rose- 

 purple, triquetrous, the wide moutli ciliate ; calyptra thin ; capsule oblong- 

 globose. (Jungermannia curvifolia, Dicks.) On rotten logs in swamps, etc. ;

 cells pellucid or subopaque ; involucral leaves larger, the lobes acute, denticu- 

 late ; perianth linear or narrowly fusiform, prismatic, denticulate or subentire ;
