This is evidently the southem representative of / . compressa, from which it is distinguishable by the inferior
margin of the leaf being produced into a lobe, as also by the closer and smaller cells of the leaves. In the European
plant the lower lobe of the leaf is decurrent on the stem, but does not fom a lobe nor is it produced below the
junction of its inferior margin with the branch.

There is no northern congener ivith which this wih bear any close comparison ; the form of the calvx and
perichætial leaves resemble the J. crennlata ; the present is, however, a very much smaher plant, distinctly stipulate,
of a different habit and with rounder leaves.

This noble plant was described under the name of J. ciliigera in the' London Journal of Botany,’ quoted above.
The specimens differed from the published figure iu the lobes of the leaf being considerably unequal, and especiaUy
in their being produced at their union below into a ciUated iving or keel, characters whicli appear to have
been overlooked in the ' Musci Exotici.’ We have added a correct drawing of this species, which was prepared before
we were aware that it was au aheady published plant.

The Gottscheæ of Nees are a group of Jungermanniæ almost confined to the southern hemisphere ; one is a
native of the Philippine Islands, and a few others inhabit the Peninsula of India and the Island of Java ; but the
larger proportion frequent the humid and temperate woods of New Zealand, from whence we have received no less
than eight species ; they are certainly the nohiles of the order Hepaticæ. J. Balfouriana is most neaily aUied to
Gottschea Blumii of Nees, a Java plant ; from which it may be discriminated by its smaUer size, less falcate leaves,
more entire cauline scales, and above aU by the quadrifid stipules. I t was first received by Dr. Balfour from New
Zealand, though probably originaUy discovered by Mr. Colenso in that island, or by the Antarctic Expedition in
Lord Auckland’s group. A figure of it iviU he given iu the Flora of New Zealand.

growing on the bare ground in exposed places, the plant is ivith diifieulty detected.

H a b . Lord Auckland’s group ; forming large tufts in th e woods.
A very fine species, hitherto only known as a native of New HoUand. The stems are rigid and wiry, 2-3
inches long, branching upwards, with the branches erect and curving. The leaves are rather coriaceous, pale fus-
cous-ycllow ; it belongs to the same section with the European J. spinulosa, Dicks.
