JUNGERMANNIA LANATA, 
JSungermannia caule erecto compresso pinnatim ramoso, 
foliis bifariis horizontalibus inzqualiter bilobis, lobis 
conduplieatis stipulisque ciliato-multifidis, calyce ob- 
longo, foliis perichetialibus oblongis ciliato-multifidis 
obtecto. (Tas. CXVI.) 
Has. In sinu Dusky bay dicto apud Novam Zeelandiam. 
D, Menzies,1791, 
Caulis erectus, compressus, pinnatim ramosus, ramis distantibus, 
subhorizontaliter patentibus, longiusculis, non raro ramis bre- 
vibus iterum pinnatis. Folia densissime imbricata, disticha, 
horizontalia, pallide glauco-viridia, inequaliter biloba, lobis 
conduplicatis ciliato-multifidis, ciliis longis divaricatis articu- 
latis ; substantia tenuis, areolis oblongis maguis reticulata. 
Stipule subquadrate ciliato-multifide. Calyx plerumque ax- 
illaris, oblongo-ovatus, subcarnosus, foliis perichetialibus vel 
squamulis angustis laciniatis obtectus. Seta biuncialis. Cap- 
sula ovata intense fusca, quadrivalvis. 
The broad compressed stems and branches, taken in conjunc- 
t?-n with the leaves of this plant, its more crowded foliage, to- 
gether with the much less degree of ramification, indicate to a 
casual observer a very striking difference from J. tomentella ; but 
when the leaves and stipules, and even the parts of fructification, 
come to be more carefully examined, a specific character can 
hardly be found :—in the subject of the present plate they are 
certainly less deeply cut into capillary or ciliary segments, but in 
other respects the two plants are precisely alike,
