Perianth or Calyx monophyllous, tubular,rarely wanting: 
Capsule four-valved, terminating a peduncle which is

(Many of these plants afford singularly beautiful microscopic objects. For 
a fuller account of the parts of fructification, see vol. i. p. 349 and 370 
of this work; and the subject elegantly illustrated in a Monograph of 
British Jungermannice by Dr. Hooker, wherein nearly one hundred spe¬

Hortus-siccus, which is still preserved at Altdorf. E.)
