236 FLORA OF TASMANIA. | Hepatice, by W. Mitten. 
dirty-brownish colour.—Piate CLXXX. Fig. 3; 1, a portion of the stem, with leaves and stipule; 2, perianth, 
with involucral leaves and stipule, as seen from the ventral side; 3, transverse section of the upper part of the 
perianth :—all magnified. 
4. Lejeunia Tasmanica (Gottsche, Icon. Hep. ined.); caule repente inordinate ramoso, foliis 
imbricatis ovatis obtusis integerrimis apice declivibus basi sinuato-complicatis, lobulo majusculo inflato 
apice emarginato-truncato, amphigastriis erectis distantibus contiguisve foliis triplo minoribus ovato-cor- 
datis convexis ad medium fere bifidis, laciniis lanceolatis, fructu . . . — Gottsche, Plante Muelleriane. 
Has. Tasmania, creeping amongst Radula buccinata, Stuart. 
Forma intermedia inter L. tabularem et L. serpyllifoliam, priori tamen propinquior, sed statura minore, et am- 
phigastriis foliorum respectu minoribus diversa. —Gottsche, l. c. 
This appears to be nearly allied to Z. tumida, and may even be identical with it. 
9. Lejeunia serpyllifolia (Libert; G. L. et N. Syn. Hep. p. 374). 
Has. Cheshunt, on trees, Archer. 
These specimens agree in all respects with European examples of the species, and possess the same property of 
staining the paper on which they are preserved of a dull-leaden colour. 
6. Lejeunia lyratifolia (Hook. fil. et Tayl); caule minuto tenui subdisperso procumbente vage 
ramoso, foliis laxis patentibus subquadratis angulo antico exteriore producto, lobulis oblongis involutis, 
amphigastriis (duplicatis) bipartitis, segmentis lanceolatis divaricatis, perianthio axillari ex angusta basi 
obovato quadricarinato.— Load. Journ. Bot. 1846, p. 993 ; G. Let N. Syn. Hep. p. 156. (Tas. CLXXX. 
Fig. 4.) 
Has. Tasmania, creeping over a specimen of Parmelia diatrypa, Ach., J. D. H. 
Caespites valde laxi, pallidissime fusco-olivacei. Caules vix trilineares, rami pauci, irregulares, folia lyrzeformia, 
margine exteriore recurva. Perigonia in spicis brevibus terminalibus. Folia involueralia dorso coalita, erecta, biloba, 
segmentis acutis inzequalibus, ventre cum amphigastrio involucrali oblongo bifido connato. Perianthium usque ad 
mediam longitudinem exsertum, carinis superne erosis. 3 
A minute species, whose place is amongst those with a stipule at the base of every leaf, and generally with a 
few enlarged cells, giving their leaves a more or less regularly dotted appearance: these are not obvious in the pre- 
sent.—PLaTE CLXXX. Fig. 4; l,a portion of the stem, with leaves and stipules; 2, a perianth, with involucrum, 
as seen on the ventral side; 3, transverse section of the perianth :—all magnified. 
Gen. XVIII. FRULLANIA, Raddi. 
l. Frullania Hampeana (Nees ab E.; G. L. et N. Syn. Hep. p- 426). 
Has. Tasmania, J. D. H. 
2. Frullania proboscidophora (Taylor); caule vage pinnatimi ramoso, foliis rotundo-ovatis obtusis 
integerrimis auriculis lunato-galeatis acuminatis acumine decurvo, amphigastriis orbiculatis bidentatis den- 
tibus acutis utrinque bi-tridentatis, foliis involucralibus ovatis acutis dentatis auriculo acuminato marginibus 
recurvis dentatis basi laciniatis, amphigastrio bipartito, laciniis lanceolatis dentatis, perianthio involucrum 
parum excedente obovato obtuso apiculato dorso convexo ventre unicarinato, angulis carinaque crispatulis.— 
Tayl. Lond. Journ. Bot. 1846, p. 402; G. L. et N. Syn. Hep. p. 110. (Tas. CLXXX. Fig. 5.) 
Has. On the bark of trees : Circular Head, J. D. H. Cheshunt, Archer. 
Fusco-rubra, albescens, scariosa. Caulis pollicaris, folia lata e textura tenera fragili. Aurieule lunato-galeatee 
marginibus orificii incurvi ut rostrum simulant. Amphigastria circiter sexdentata. Perianthium fragilissimum, ante 
egressum capsulz seepe destructum.
