CRYPTOGAMIAHEPATICJE. 61 



Hob. In bogs on moors, sometimes growing in level-topped 

 tufts, and sometimes intermixed with Sphagna and Di- 

 cranum glaucum : or in deans intermixed with Dicranum 

 scoparium. Winter. 



The stems are often 1| inch long, filiform, and generally 

 branched near the top, the branches spreading and few in 

 number. The leaves vary from a brownish colour to a 

 deep grass-green, and, in the specimens examined by us, 

 were always cut at the end into 3 equal acute segments. 

 A variety more slender, and of a deeper brown colour, is 

 sometimes met with, in depressed patches, on heath-co- 

 vered rocks. Fig. b. 



9. J. scalaris, stem ascending, simple ; leaves patent, alternate, 

 round, concave, entire ; " stipules broadly subulate ; fruit termi- 

 nal : calyx immersed in the leaves." (Tab. v. fig. 8.) HOOK. 

 Scot.il 115. 



Hob. On heaths, very common. Nov. 



When growing in bogs, I have seen the stems rather more 

 than an inch high, but in a drier situation they are much 

 less. The species is very common on moors, growing in 

 patches, or intermixed with other mosses. 



* * Leafy and exstipulate. 

 f- Leaves %-lobed, the segments unequal, conduplicate. 



10. J. nemorosa, stem erect, dichotomous or simple ; leaves 2- 

 rowed, patent, convex, toothed, the lobes unequal, the larger 

 ovate, the smaller somewhat heart-shaped ; fruit terminal ; calyx 

 oblong, incurved, compressed, (Tab. v. f. 9.) HOOK. Scot. iii. 114. 

 S. purpurea, LIGIITF. Scot. 778. Eng. Bot. t. 1023, and J. resu- 

 pinata, t. 2437. 



Hob. On banks and in woods, often intermixed with Dicra- 

 num scoparium, in tufts of a brownish green. Winter. 



The lobes of the leaves are sometimes tipped with pulveru- 

 lent clusters of buds. 



1 1. J. undulata, stem erect, simple or sub-dichotomous, rigid ; 

 leaves 2-rowed, patent, convex, the lobes unequal, roundish, some- 

 what waved, entire or nearly so ; calyx oblong ; fruit terminal.
