Hab. On subalpine banks. Mangerton, KeiTy, Joseph Woods, Esq. 

 Brandon, Dr. Taylor. Carrantual, Connor Hill, and Brandon. This 

 fine species grows in large patches lying flat on the ground, and 

 appears at first sight to resemble patches of Thuyidium tamarisc- 

 inum, Schimp. In Ireland it has been seen growing only in the 

 County of Kerry, and even there it is very local.

 and west of Ireland, but not common in the northern or eastern

 to any other British species of Jungermannia, which remark still 

 holds true. Dumortier, in his late work on the European Hepa-
