JUNGERMANIA. 319 



subulate-lanceolate. Bracts similar in size to the leaves, or rather 

 smaller, irregularly 2-4-lobed. Bracteole variable, entire or bifid. 

 Perianth projecting, pale green, cylindrical-obovate, upper -J- pluri- 

 plicate, below smooth, composed of one layer of cells, mouth 

 narrow, liyaline, irregularly ciliolate, with 15-20 cilioles, 1 and 2 

 cells long. Male plant more slender ; andnpcia o to 4 pairs at 

 the middle or apex of stem ; perigonial bracts much smaller than 

 the leaves, concave, at the base saccate, bilobed ; lobes obtuse, 

 connivent, unequal, postical larger; sinus broad, obtuse. Anthe- 

 ridia 1-3 in each bract, oval-globose, yellowish-green, stipitate. 



Dimensions. — Stems 1 to 2 inches long, with leaves 2" mm. 

 to 3* mm. wide, "5 mm thick, leaves 1*5 mm. long xl "2 5 mm. 

 broad, segments "3 mm., cells '03 mm. x '025 mm., '025 mm., 

 stipules '4 mm. x '15 mm., perianth 3*5 mm. x ■1'25 mm., peri- 

 gonial bract 1' mm. x 1" mm., antheridia "15 mm, x '125 mm, 



Hat3. — On rockv ledges, in alpine situations. Ben Gaire, 

 1700 ft., Moidart, West Inverness, Sijmers 31. Maccicar, July 27, 

 1898. 



The only known British station. Found in Norway, Switzer- 

 land and Styria. 



Obs. — There is no other alpine hepatic which this species 

 is likely to be mistaken for, the obtuse lobes of the leaves readily 

 distinguishing it. 



Drs. Kaalaas and Jorgensen have confirmed the Scotch speci- 

 mens and have also sent me a series of Norwegian specimens with 

 which our species iuUy agrees. 



The figure given by Dr. Henri Bernet in his " Cat. Hep. Sud- 

 Ouest Suisse " does not well agree with any specimens I have seen. 

 JuHf/. ohfiisa is one of the numerous discoveries made in Scotland 

 by my friend Mr. Macvicar.
