(Spleen-wort Jungermannia. Sweet-scented Moss. E.) Roadsides 
and on trees, in woods and wet shady places; also near springs and 
rivulets, when it is sweet scented. (It grows plentifully on the sides of 
the Holy Well of St. Winifred, in Flintshire: also at the spring 
consecrated to the Virgin Mary, near the chapel, in the sequestered dell 
of Wyg-fair, (Mary's bower), Denbighshire. E.) Earsham and Sexton

Fern Jungermannia. J. scalaris. Schrad. Hook, which has often been 
mistaken for J. lanceolata, Linn. Hook. t. 18. a species which abundantly 
differs, not only in the absence of stipules, but in the large and naked 
calyx, and is at least a very doubtful native of Britain. J. lanceolata . 
E. Bot. Prof. Hooker considers J. scalaris of Schmidel to be no more 
than the gemmiferous state of <7. Trichomanis , which has not unfrequently 
been so misunderstood. Abundant, upon a loamy soil, in woods, wastes, 
and hedge banks. P. April—Oct. E.) 
J. bidenta'ta. (Stem procumbent, branched: leaves broadly ovate, 
decurrent, bifid at the apex; the segments very acute, entire : 
stipulas bi-trifid and laciniate: fruit terminal: calyx oblong, sub- 
triangular : the mouth laciniate. Hook. E.)
