Among the splendid productions of New Zealand Mr. Menzies 
had the good fortune to discover this fine plant in so perfect a 
state as to enable us to remove it from Anictangium, where it 
has long held a place, to its proper genus, among which indeed 
there is none with which it can be confounded. I possess no 
specimen with a calyptra, but the teeth are truly those of an 
Hedwigian Neckera.
