CRYPTOGAMIA. HEPATIOE. Jungermannia. 1091 
Since writing the above I have received a specimen from Mr. Griffith in 
fruit, the fruit-stalk more than an inch long. He found it for the first 
time in this state, last summer, when the rills were dry or nearly so, and 
thence concludes that it only flowers in very dry seasons. Possibly the 
very tender and delicate fruit-stalk may be destroyed in rainy seasons.

rosa var. (3. purpurascens. Hook, who considers this species as scarcely 
differing from J. nemorosa a , but in the deep purple colour of the whole 
plant. E.) Bogs, rivulets, and cascades in mountainous situations, and 
in ditches and turfy heaths. On Cader Idris, Snowdon, and Glyder. 
Dillenius. In moist peat earth on a mountain called Cowsand, and 
on the sides of hills in the forest of Dartmoor, Devon. Mr. Newberry. 
In all the rills near Snowdon. Mr. Griffith, (who says his plant is cer¬ 
tainly the same that he has seen in all collections, without fructification, 
as Mniurn Jungermannia. E.) P. March—Aug. 
Var. 2. Leafits very entire. 
Smaller than the preceding, upright, green, not purple. Seems to be the 
variety mentioned by Dillenius as growing in bogs. Specimens from J. 
W. Griffith, Esq. 
C. (2) Leaves winged : leqfils with appendages : fruit-stalks lateral or 
at the base. 
J. ova'ta. Shoots creeping, branched: leafits egg-shaped, alternate, 
with appendages underneath: sheathing the involucrum in¬ 
versely egg-shaped. Dicks, ii. 11. 
Dicks. 8. 6. 
Fruit-stalks terminal and lateral. Involucrum ragged at the top. Dicks. 
(Ovate-leaved Jungermannia. E.) On barren heaths. 
J. triloba'ta. (Stem creeping, flexuose, branched: leaves imbricated 
above, ovate, convex, obtusely three-toothed : stipulsc broadly sub¬ 
quadrate, crenate: fruit arising from the lower part of the stem : 
ealvx oblong, subacuminate, the mouth cleft on one side. Hook. 
E.) 
(Hook. Jung. 76— E. Bot. 2232— Mich. t. 6.f. 2. E.) 
About an inch long, trailing, branches distant. Leafits with three to five 
shallow clefts at the end. Involucrum about two lines long, terminating. 
Fruit-stalks very short. Weis. 
(Tiiree-lobed Jungermannia. J. radicans. E. Bot. Unknown to Dil¬ 
lenius, whose synonym, according to most authors, Prof. Hooker an¬ 
nounces to belong to J. quinquedentata. Grows in large patches, often a 
foot in diameter, in subalpine situations, but is seldom found in fructifi¬ 
cation. E.) P. March—April. 
J. rejp'tans. Shoots doubly compound: fruit-stalks lateral: leafits 
four-cornered, snipped towards the end : stipulae four-cleft.
