110 JUNGERMANNIACEAE 
the original specimen of Hooker's Jungermannia Bantriensis, col- 
lected by Miss Hutchins at Bantry, Ireland, was still preserved at 
Kew, we received the following statement: “ There is no speci- 
men of this at Kew marked, ‘Bantry, Miss Hutchins.’ But ona 
specimen not localized is written (I believe in Wilson's handwrit- 
ing): ‘This is probably the specimen mentioned in Brit. Jung". 
See note to description of ў. stipulacea’ The note referred to 
contains the diagnosis of J. Bantriensis. A portion of this speci- 
men is enclosed." This specimen proves to be Harpanthus Floto- 
vianus Nees. It is readily distinguishable from any of the Lophozia 
Milleri-heterocolpa alliance by the decurrent leaves, the wholly 
smooth cuticle, the larger underleaves, and the short ventral ? 
branches, which here bear unfertilized archegonia ; some of the 
stems are gemmiparous at the apex, but the gemmiparous leaves 
are not transformed іп any such way as in Lephosia heteracolpa. 
A comparison of this specimen with Hooker's figure and descrip- 
tion precludes the possibility of its being the desired original. 
To the friendly generosity of Mr. W. H. Pearson, we owet 
privilege of examining a specimen marked “ Jung. Bantriensis 
Hook, Bantry. Coll. Miss Hutchins, Nov. 19, 1812. Origina Я 
This specimen, though sterile, we can easily believe to have been 
а part of the original material studied by Hooker. It agrees © 
sentially with Jungermannia Hornschuchiana Nees аз represente 
in Rab. Hep. Eur. 128, differing chiefly in the slightly smaller 
leaf-cells and the more prominently verruculose-striolate or gran- 
ulate-papillate cuticle. From Lophozia heterocolpa it differs in the 
larger (about 1.5 mm, wide) flaccid decurrent leaves, which аге bi- 
dentate rather than bilobed, the usually acute teeth being ера 
rated by a broad, shallow sinus, in the larger leaf-cells ( marginal 
and superior 28-50 и), in the very distinctly roughened cuticle, 
and in the absence of gemmae.
