JUNGERMANNIA DENSIFOLIA.

bis, segmentis zequalibus oblongis. (Tas. XXXVI.) 
Has. Staten Land Americz meridionalis. D. Menzies, 1787. 
Caulis 3-4-pollicaris, erectus, strictus, plerumque simplex. Fo- 
lia exacte disticha, dense bifariam imbricata, horizontalia, 
oblonga, arcte conduplicata, fusco-viridia, pulcherrime ciliata, 
profunde biloba, lobis vel potius segmentis oblongis, undulatis, 
subtortis, Sulstantia mollis, reticulata, areolis parvis rotun- 
datis. 
There is a striking peculiarity in this plant from the regularly 
- distichous, horizontal, and conduplicate foliage; circumstanees i 
some degree belonging also to J. albicans, to which this plant in 
natural habit is allied. Here, however, the leaves have their 
lobes and segments equal in length, and their whole margins 
most beautifully ciliated. 
It is probable that the fructification of this plant will be found 
to resemble that of J. albicans ;—unfortanately, there is no ap- 
pearance of any in Mr. Menzies’s specimens.
