( J. Woods'll.) 
BRITISH JUNGERMANNI2E 
Stipules very large, considerably broader than the stem, widely ovate, cleft into two 
spinuloso-dentate segments, and, at the angles of the base, furnished with a reflexed 
tooth or spur (f. 6). 
No Fructification, either Male or Female, has yet been discovered. 
The truly magnificent species represented in the annexed plate, was detected in Ireland, in the 
year 1809, by my friend, Mr. Joseph Woods, to whose name I am desirous of dedicating it. It 
has since been found by Dr. Taylor, in the same country, and may possibly have been overlooked 
by other naturalists, for a variety of J. ciliaris, from which it differs in the size and ramification, 
as well as in the border of the leaves and stipules, in the extremely minute lobule of the former of 
these, and in the large size and very deep sinus of the latter. A farther and equally important mark 
of discrimination will be seen in the structure of the leaves ; for the cellules in J. ciliaris are so 
closely situated, and the interstices consequently so narrow, that a beautifully reticulated appearance 
is afforded by them ; whereas those of J. Woodsii are widely placed, and at very unequal intervals, 
in the same manner as those of J. juniperina, J. Taylori, J. Turneri, and a few others.
