V. HEPATIC.®. 
[ Lopliocolea . 
Lord Auckland’s group : on the ground, J. D. H. 
A beautiful and very peculiar species. The character of the original L. leucophylla , 
Tayl. (published in Syu. Hep. 155, from Herb. Greville), differs totally from this, but as 
the authors of that work cite this as synonymous with the present Chiloscyphus leucophyllus 
(Lond. Journ. Bot. 1844, 348), it is better to retain this name, and abolish the L. leuco- 
phylla, whatever it may have been. 
** Stipules free. 
+ Leaves entire or nearly so.
