( J. cuneifolia .) 
BRITISH JT7NGERMANNIJE. 
Of the present curious little plant no fructification has at present been found ; nor indeed is it 
at all necessary for the distinguishing of the species, the leaves and stipules affording abundant cha- 
racters by which it may be known from every other in the genus. Neither is it an easy task to 
determine to which it is most naturally allied. In the narrowed base of the leaves it has an affinity 
with J. spinulosa : in size, color, and texture, with J. byssacea : but the stipules require that it 
should be arranged in quite a different family, where there is none for which it can be mistaken.
