34 MUSCI PRATERITIL 
This curious little plant, which I venture to dedicate to its 
indefatigable discoverer, might be passed over for a large form of 
Cephalozia divaricata, but is at once distinguished from that and 
in the absence of oil-granules from the cells. As we have only the 
male plant, which has monandrous bracts, its place among other 
bifid-leaved Jungermanie is not easy to assign. It is not unlike 
small forms of J. minuta, Schrad., and J. rigida, Lindberg; but 
its nearest allies are doubtless the two with which I have above 
it, viz., J. opacula, n. sp., gathered by myself in the 
Andes, between Riobamba and the Plateau of Chimborazo, on 
rocks shattered by the great earthquake of 1796 ; and J. intricata, 
Lindenb. et G., found by Liebmann in Mexico, near Oaxaca, where 
it grew closely interwoven with J. colorata.
