JUNGERMANNIA TURNERI. 
(TAB. XXIX.) 
J un germ Ann i a, surculo procumbente, flcxuoso, stellatim ramoso: foliis late ovatis, acute 
bipartitis; segmentis subconduplicatis, spinuloso-dentatis : fructu terminali; calycibus lineari- 
oblongis, longitudinalitfer plicatis; ore denticulato. 
Hab. Shady bank of a mountain-rivulet near Bantry. Miss Hutchins. — (It bears fruit most 
plentifully about the beginning of March.) 
This rare Plant is found growing in small, pale, yellow-green patches, of one or two inches in 
diameter. 
The Roots, which consist of minute, whitish, simple fibres, descend from the under side of 
the plant, in various places, but chiefly from its centre, and immediately below the 
insertion of the calyx (f. 8.) 
A single individual scarcely exceeds three or four lines in length. The surculi are 
procumbent, divided from a centre, with branches extremely slender, filiform, flexuose, 
mostly simple, but, sometimes, again irregularly divided. Their color a very light green; 
their substance diaphanous, filled with somewhat ovate cellules, placed at a distance from 
each other. 
Leaves (f. f. 3. 4. 5) arranged at very regular intervals and somewhat closely, in two rows, 
patent, about the twentieth of a line in length, or a little less towards the extremity of 
the barren Shoots, though the reverse is the case with those leaves that approach the 
calyx : each is, at its base, semiamplexicaul, of a lato-ovate figure, divided from the apex, 
for about one half of its length, by an acute sinus, into two ovate or lanceolate sharp 
and almost conduplicate segments, which, at their margins, are remarkably and elegantly 
fringed with rather large spiniform teeth of unequal size. The color of the leaves is an 
extremely pale yellow-green; the cellules are ovate, and, as in the surculus, placed 
distantly, yet in regular longitudinal series.
