Jungermannia guttulata LINDB. & ARNELL, Kongl. Sv. Vet. Akad. Handl. 

 23, No. 5 : 51. 1889. 



Dioicous: depressed-caespitose, green, varying to brownish; stems 

 reddish-brown to black, densely radiculose, sparingly branched ; leaves 

 distant to imbricated, obliquely inserted, spreading or the upper ones 

 often complicate, slightly decurrent, bifid one-third to one-half with 

 triangular, acute or acuminate, slightly divergent lobes and acute to 

 obtuse, often gibbous, sinus, margin entire: underleaves wanting: 

 leaf-cells with thin walls but distinct and very large, sometimes con- 

 fluent trigones, projecting out into the stellate cell-cavities; cuticle 

 smooth : innermost 9 bracts erect-spreading, bifid to quadrifid about 

 two-fifths with triangular, obtuse to short-acuminate, often unequal 

 lobes, margins otherwise subentire ; bracteole very variable, lanceo- 

 late or bifid, connate on one or on both sides ; perianth cylindrical or 

 obovate-clavate, contracted at the ciliolate mouth (the cilia mostly two 

 to four cells long), terete below, plicate in upper fourth: $ plants 

 mixed with the 9, bracts in several pairs, strongly saccate at base, 

 cells in saccate portion often with slightly and uniformly thickened 

 walls, other cells normal. 



Leaf-cells at edge of leaf 22 ft in diameter, in the middle 28 /z, and 

 at the base 35 p..

Lophozia guttulata was first described from Siberian specimens, but 

 is now known also from various parts of Scandinavia, from Austria, 

 and from Italy. Professor Massalongo * looks upon it as a variety of 

 Lophozia ventricosa, and it approaches somewhat certain forms which 

 were formerly included under Jungermannia porphyroleuca. When 

 well developed, however, it is very easily distinguished and is prob- 

 ably entitled to specific rank. The most important differences be- 

 tween it and L. ventricosa are the following: the plants are smaller;
