BRITISH JUNGERMANNLE. 
C J. spinulosa.J 
although the original specimen at Oxford is much smaller than the representation on the 
plate, and in that respect approaches more nearly to my variety, yet the leaves are by no 
means generally tri-spinose: on the contrary, by far the greater number arc much dentated, 
and the only difference appears to be, that they have their teeth rather smaller and more 
numerous than is the case with the common state of the plant. 
The present species may be considered as one of the largest and handsomest that the 
genus can boast, whether Europaean or exotic. Its affinity with J. asplenioides has been 
already noticed.
