Jungermannia caule repente, ramis erectis divisis, foliis 
erectis bifariis appressis rotundatis spinuloso-dentatis

Has. In sinu Dusky bay dicto, in Nova Zeelandia. D. Men- 
ztes, 1791. 
Caulis repens, flexuosus, sublignosus, denudatus. Raznt erecti, 
rigidi, flexuosi, subpinnatim divisi, apice dilatati. Folia arcte 
bifariam imbricata, erecta, cauli appressa, plana, subnitida, 
rotundata, versus apicem precipue spinuloso-dentata, oppo- 
sita, basi utrinque evidentissime connata, Perichetialia 
magis connata, et calyci valde similia, magis spinosa. Calyx 
urceolatus, basi yentricosus, apice compressus, ore ciliato- 
Spinoso, 
The fructification of J. conjugata greatly resembles that of 
J. adiantoides wail spinulosa ; but a decided mark of discrimi- 
nation may he found in the leaves, which are truly united at their 
base all round the stem, and thus the plant becomes perfoliate 
in a most remarkable degree.
