This small collection of FruUaniae from Madagascar en- 

 trusted to me to name by Dr. Kiær of Christiania, I have 

 arranged in sub-genera, according to the method, proposed by 

 Dr. Spruce, in his u Hepaticae Amaøomcae et Andinae". 



So far as I am acquainted with the literature of the subject, 

 no FruUaniae have previously been recorded from Madagascar, 

 excepting those enumerated in AbhandL nat. Ver. Bremen.

In my herbarium I have specimens of Fr. stricta Lindenb.
