 mum, and numerous others, aracunting by estimate to 460 Sp. 



(See Turner's Hisforia Mvscorum.) 



8. Hepat'cce. Liverworts. Of these the herbage is commonly 

 frondose, the fructification originating from what is at the 

 same time both leaf and stem . This character, however, 

 proves less absolute than one founded on their capsules, which 

 differ essentially from those of the preceding order in having 

 nothing like a lid or operculum. The corolla, or veil, of some 

 of the genera is like that of Jlosses, but usually bursts at the 

 top. The barren flowers in some are similar to the stamens 

 of the last-mentioned plants,as in Juiigerman/iiu (see Hooker's 

 Monograph of this genus) ; in others they are of some peculiar 

 conformation, as in Marchaniia, where they are imbedded in 

 a disk like the seeds of lichens, in a manner so contrary to all 

 analogy, that botanists can scarcely agree wliich are the barren 

 cmd which the fertile flowers of this genus. Linnaeus com- 

 prehended this order under the following one, to which, 

 says Sir J. E. Smith, it is most assuredly far less akin than to 

 the foregoing. British species estimated at 85. 



9. AlgcE. Flags. In tliis order the herbage is frondose, some- 

 times a mere crust, sometimes of a leathery or gelatinous tex- 

 ture. The seeds are imbedded, either in the fr ond itself, or in 

 some peculiar receptacle. The barren flowers are but im- 

 perfectly kno%vn. The aquatic or submersed Alga; form a dis- 

 tinct and peculiar tribe. Some of these abound in fresh water, 

 others in the sea, whence the latter are commonly denomin- 

 ated sea-weeds. British species 18. 



10. Lichenes. Herbage frondose and leathery; seeds generally 

 in the frond. This order was included by Limiceus under the 

 former one. Estimated number of British species 573. 



11. Fungi. Mushrooms. These cannot properly be said to 

 have any herbage. Their substance is fleshy, generally of 

 quick growth and short duration, differing in firmness, from 

 a watery pulp to a leathery or even woody texture. By some 

 naturalists they have been thought of an animal nature, chiefly 

 because of their fcetid scent in decay, and because little wliitc
