226 FLORA OF TASMANIA. [Hepatice, by W. Mitten. 
there are not wanting some which seem to indicate that, like some of the forms of L. Nove-Zelandie, the form of the 
stipule may be considerably modified, as well as the habit of the plants, by the situation in which they may have 
grown. 
3. Lophocolea austrigena (Taylor).—Jungermannia austrigena, Hook. fil. et Tayl. Flor. Antaret. 
p. 125. t. 157. f. 7, et t. 158. f.5; G. L. et N. Syn. Hep. p. 702. 
Has. Growing in water on the top of Fatigue Hill, elev. 4000 feet. A smaller form submersed : 
St. Patrick’s River, Gunn. Wet places, in gullies, near Brown’s River, Oldfield. 
All the Tasmanian specimens of this plant are very much smaller than those from Hermite Island, but in other 
respects offer nothing to distinguish them. The species is an undoubted Lophocolea, and is closely allied to Z. pa- 
lustris (Jungermannia palustris, Hook. fil. et Tayl. Flor. Antarct. p. 481. t. 157. f. 8), and to L. otophylla (Junger- 
mannia otophylla, Hook. fil. et Tayl. Flor. Antarct. p. 493. t. 158. f. 4), which has a trigonous, ovate-oblong peri- 
anth, the lips entire and undulate. Amongst the Antarctic species which have been erroneously referred to Chilo- 
scyphus are Lophocolea fuscovirens (Jungermannia, Flor. Antaret. t. 440. f. 7), where the figure justly represents it 
as a Lophocolea, and L. australis (Jungermannia, Flor. Antarct. p. 156. t. 65. f. 3), but the perianth is falsely de- 
scribed and figured as bialate and bilabiate, its true form being prismatic, and of course trilabiate. 
4. Lophocolea Tasmanica (Mitten) ; caule procumbente ramoso, foliis divaricatis explanatis sub- 
ovatis apice sinu parvo subobliguo bidentatis ceeterum integerrimis per paria cum amphigastrio parvo quad- 
ridentato coalitis involucralibus subellipticis recurvatione marginum integerrimarum vel rarius in margine 
dorsali unidenticulato, convexis apice bidentatis cum amphigastrio ovali breviter bidentato et utrinque uni- 
denticulato connatis, perianthio prismatico angulis alatis, alis labliisque dentatis. (Tas. CLXXVIII. 
Fig. 5.) 
Has. On rotten wood, Archer. 
Viridis. Caulis uncialis, prostratus, vage ramosus. Folia explanata, cellulis teneris pellucidis limitibus angustis. 
Nearly allied to Z. connata, Sw., and L. Beecheyana, Taylor. From the first it differs in the form of the leaf 
and emargination, the sinus being narrower, and the cells have thinner walls; from Z. Beecheyana, as well as from 
L. Martiana, Nees, it recedes in the entire ventral margins of its involucral leaves.—PrATE CLXXVIII. Fig. 5 ; 1, 
a portion of the stem, with leaves and stipule ; 2, a perianth, removed from the involucral leaves ; 3, involucral leaves 
and stipule :—all magnified. 
5. Lophocolea lenta (Hook. fil. et Tayl. Fl. Antarct. p.154; Mitten, in Fl. N. Zeal. p. 136. t. 197. 
f. 2).—L. diademata, eorund. Lond. Jouri. bot. 1844, p. 560; G. L. et N. Syn. Hep. p. 692. L. secun- 
difolia, Hook. fil. et Tayl. l.c. p. 438. t. 159. f. 2. 
Has. Near Hobarton, J. D. H. 
6. Lophocolea bidentata (Nees; G. L. et N. Syn. Hep. p. 159). 
Has. Tasmania, Stuart. Banks of the Derwent. Springs: Mount Wellington. Deep Gully, Mount 
Wellington. High bleak hill, Major's Falls, New Norfolk. In brackish swamps near the sea: North- 
west Bay, Oldfield. Cheshunt, Archer. 
a T. Lophocolea amplectens (Mitten) ; caule cæspitoso decumbente vage subpinnatim ramoso exili, 
foliis imbricatis sabquadratis profande emarginatis, laciniis acuminatis acutis amplectentibus, amphigastriis 
ovatis bifidis, segmentis extus unidentatis. (Tas. CLXXVIII. Fig. 7.) 
Has. Amongst rocks near the top of Mount Wellington, Oldfield. 
Luteo-viridis, dein fuscescens. Caulis circiter semipollicaris, vage ramosus, rami persæpe foliis minoribus. 
ie: patentin; sinu lato emarginata, laciniis erectis subcomplicatis e cellulis parvis areolata. Amphigastria caulem 
latitudine parum superantia, ambitu ovata.
