the leaves recurved, as in several Plagiochilce; the 

 cellules large at the junction of the leaves to the stems. 

 No stipules except a few almost inconspicuous towards 

 the tops of the male shoots. Calyx curved, as in 

 J. lanceolata, L. The perichaetial leaves or scales are 

 concealed by the adjoining pair of cauline leaves j they 

 are anomalous, being deeply laciniated ; by which 

 character, and by the recurvation of both margins of the 

 leaves, our present plant differs abundantly from J. 

 lanceolata, L. Lond. Jour. Bot., 1846, p. 275.

Furnished with scaled flagellse. 



4. J. coLORATA, Lehmann. Stems one to two inches high, 



purple or dusky green, sending off long thread-like 

 flagellse covered with scales. Leaves closely imbricate, 

 nearly vertical, orbicular, quite entire ; involucral 

 incised. Stipules 0. Perianth ovoid, 8-10-plicate ; 

 mouth contracted, toothed. Syn. Hep., 36 and 673.

Leaf margin thickened. 



5. J. MARGiNATA, MitteJi. Stems erect, rigid, branched ; 



branches frequently attenuated in a flagelliform manner; 

 leaves patent, secund from the front, oval, entire, apex 

 obtuse or rarely retuse, margin thickened, composed of 

 two rows of cells ; stipules ovate, bifid. 



Dull brownish-green or black. Stems two inches or 

 more in height, flexuous ; stipules as wide as the stem 

 is thick. 



A rigid species, with some resemblance to elongated 

 states of J. scalaris, but larger and with more oval 

 leaves. Its evidently margined leaves readily distin- 

 guish it from its allies. (PI. xii,)
