Hepatice, by W. Mitten.) FLORA OF TASMANIA. 237 
Very nearly allied to F. Hampeana, but a larger species, remarkable in the few specimens yet seen for the dis- 
coloration and scarious appearance of its leaves. Its habit appears to resemble that of F. dilatata. The perianth 
is everywhere smooth except the angles, which are minutely undulate or subcrispate.—PrATE CLXXX. Fig. 5; 
1, plant, of the natural size; 2, a portion of the stem, with leaves and stipule ; 3, involucral leaves, stipule, and 
perianth, as seen on the ventral side ; 4, transverse section of perianth :—all magnified. 
9. Prullania monocera (Hook. fil. et Tayl. Lond. Journ. Bot. 1845, p. 89; G. L. et N. Syn. Hep. 
p- 418); caule implexo prostrato vage ramoso, foliis subimbricatis patentibus oblongo-ovatis rotundatis 
planis integerrimis, lobo inferiore galemformi unispinoso deflexo, amphigastriis ovato-acuminatis bifidis den- 
tatis, perianthio terminali obcordato trigono, angulis hirtis, ore tubifero. 
Has. Tasmania, amongst other Hepatice, J. D. H. 
Osespites parvi, albo-virides. Caules fere semipollicares, irregulariter ramosi. Folia arcte imbricata, patentia, 
tenuissima, plana, elliptica, auricule galeseformes cornu subreflexo munite. Amphigastria caulem excedentia. Jn- 
volucrum in ramulo parvo perianthium fere obtegens; foliis involucralibus basi coadunatis, dentatis, erectis, lobulo 
lanceolato. Anguli perianthii spinis vario modo curvatis, interdum ad instar ale confluentibus, muniti.— Taylor, 1. c. 
This description agrees, excepting the angles of the perianth, very nearly with the species here considered to be 
F. proboscidophora. 
4. Frullania clavata (Hook. fil. et Tayl. Lond. Journ. Bot. 1845, p. 88; G. L. et N. Syn. Hep. 
p. 428); caule procumbente vage subpinnatimve ramoso, surculis apice incrassatis, foliis imbricatis paten- 
tibus rotundato-oblongis convexis integerrimis, lobo inferiore majore galemformi acuminato decurvo, stipulis 
rotundatis emarginato-bidentatis subdenticulatis, calyce subimmerso obovato biplicato tubifero, foliis peri- 
cheetialibus margine ventrali dentatis. 
Haz. On Nephroma cellulosa, Ach.: Tasmania, Herb. Taylor. 
" Scarcely one quarter of an inch long, pale-green, sometimes brownish-purple. Stipules large, their emargina- 
tion shallow and rounded. 4Auricles large compared with the leaves. The calyz, rising little out of the perichzetium, 
is widest near the mouth, below which it is rather suddenly contracted. The lateral perichetial leaves have, besides 
a segment corresponding to the auricle of the leaf, an inner one which is lanceolate and dentate.— Allied to F. tri- 
nervis, L. et L., but this is of a dark-brown colour, has a more exserted three-nerved calyx, the auricles are less 
acuminated, and the stipules more entire."— Taylor. l. c.
