(J. cilia? is. ) 
BRITISH J UNGERM ANNLE. 
The J. pulcherrima of Weber is precisely the same as the Linnaean ciliaris; and Mr. Dickson, 
who published it as a distinct species in the first Fasciculus of his Plantie Cryptogamicce, was 
afterwards aware of the mistake, and corrected it in the second part of the same work. Nor is 
the J. Leersii of Roth to be considered otherwise than as a synonvm to the present plant; for the 
jointed cilia, which the author dwells so much upon, are no less distinctly apparent in J. ciliaris, 
and even in J. tomentella ; and Hoffmann’s figure of J. ciliaris, which is referred to as J. Leersii, is 
an admirable representation of the true ciliaris. 
I have already, under my description of J. tnmentella, pointed out the characters which 
distinguish that species from the present. The subject of the following plate, J. Woodsii, which 
at first sight bears a considerable resemblance to it, is remarkably different in having the margins of 
the leaves laciniated, not ciliated ; in its bifid stipules; and in the large and distantly-placed cellules 
of the leaves. Between the three species, there is a considerable natural affinity, and, in all of 
them, the upper lobe of the leaf is more or less bifid : but the true figure of the leaves and stipules 
of J. ciliaris is admirably described by Wahlenberg, in the following passage, which I am 
induced to quote, hoping it may tend to remove future doubts upon the subject: “ Foliorum lobus 
supremus seu dorsalis caeteris major est et magis integer; inferiores tarn longb fimbriati ut fere 
multipartiti, segre a stipulis discernendi. Stipuli ferh dimidiam longitudinem foliorum aequant, 
oblongae, multifido-fimbriatas : fimbriis longis articulatis.”
