This species is very nearly allied to and apparently intermediate between the J. Udentata, L. and J.perpusilla,
nobis, the former in particular, from which it is only to be distinguished by the smaller size and the entire segments
of the stipules ; from the latter it may be known by being at least double the size, by the more tufted habit, the
deeper emargination of the leaf, their more acuminate segments and larger cells, and by the deeper division of the
stipules. There are numerous radicles issuing from the stem throughout its whole length, theh position is immediately
above the stipules, whence it seems highly probable that, when less tufted, the plant may be wholly creeping.
This species will be figured in the Flora of New Zealand, of which island also it is a native.

This very closely resembles the L. dkcedens, Nees ; it is, however, a larger species, of a paler colour. The
leaves are erecto-patent and not recurved, their tops entire, the stipules are divided, and each segment is again
divided or bears a tooth at the outer margin.

This plant has so many points in common -nath J. Jieterophylla, Schrad., that we retain it as a separate species
ivith much hesitation, and chiefly on account of the larger cehs of its more rounded leaves, which are more gibbous
above and narrower towards the apex; the broad stipules, wliich are never ovate, and also on account of the longer
calyx, of which the lips are more frequently aud deeply toothed, as are the perichætial leaves. Through a mistake
the specific character and description of J.intortijolia, nobis, were repeated under this species iu the ‘London Journal
of Botany,’ vol. iii. p. 381.

A highly beautiful species and very different from any we have ever seen. The apices of the leaves ai-e rather
variable, in general they are bifid for \ ot ^ way down, with a rounded sinus ; but, in other cases, the segments
have more the appearance of subulate appendages placed on each of the rounded apices of the leaf; in one instance a
trifid leaf was observed, the tlihd segment was on the upper margin towai'ds the base.
