This exhibits much the habit and mode of gi-owth of the last, but is a widely different and far larger plant ; it is
very vaiiable in size, some of the shoots on the same branch having leaves not half the length of others.

H a b . Lord Auckland’s group and Campbell’s Island; moist banks in the woods and on trunks of trees.
Cæspites 2-3 une. lati. Caules robusti, suberecti v. procumbentes, vage ramosi, nunc inter JSepaticas ahas
sobtarii, sub 1 unc. longi, fusco-brunnei, sæpe per totam longitudinem radicantes. Folia inferiora subpatentia,
superiora imbricata, erecta, appressa, oblongo-rotimdata, apicibus rotundatis integerrimis, cellulis plerumque majuscubs
opacis. Stipulæ forma variæ, plerumque oblongæ et bifidæ, utrinque basi unidentatæ, segmentis divaiicatis
acuminatis, rarius subquadratæ, quadrifidæ, v. quadridentatæ. Calyx exsertus, paulo curvatus, oblon^s, basi cybndra-
ceus, superne compressus, bialatus, alis subundulatis, ore obhquo bilabiato, labiis divergentibus obscure crenulatis.
The fertile branches of this plant are short, with about five pairs of leaves, of which the upper, or perichætial,
are oblong, and the corresponding stipule is the largest and most deeply laciniated. A broken capsule, found within
the calyx, contained rounded angular seeds and slender much-twisted spiral filaments, each formed of a double helix,
The barren plant strongly resembles some states of J. polyanthos, L., but in the fertile plant the oblong winged
cdlya, the included calyptra, and the more divided and toothed stipules abundantly distinguish it.

H a b . Lord Auckland’s group ; on the dead and decaying trunks of trees, in the woods.
This beautiful and strongly scented species is a near aby of J. coalita. Hook.; but in that the leaves are simply
bifid at the apex, in this they are toothed repeatedly, and the stipules are much more divided, besides being generaUy
distinctly bifid at the apex owing to the terminal pah of teeth being more remote than the others.
