' 53. J ungermannia atro-virens, Hook. fil. e tT a y l.; caule gracili erecto disperso ramoso subtus fla-
geüifero, foliis parvis patentibus subdistantibus triangulari-rotundatis apice inæqualiter bifidis segmentis
acutis ùitegerrimis, ceRulis parvis punctiformibus marginem versus inferiorem majoribus, stipulis minutis
transversis semi-rotundatis tripartitis segmentis acutis.
Hab. Lord Auckland’s group ; creeping through tufts of Bicrana and other mosses, in th e woods and
on the hiUs, not uncommon.
Caules 1-2 unciales, graciles, sæpe solitarii, vage ramosi, rigidi, erecti, interdiun subflexuosi, crassiusculi, oh-
vaceo-brunnei. Folia pro magnitudine caulis parva, vix imbricata, verticaliter patentia, obhque ovato-rotundata v.
subtriaugularia, bifida v. bidentata, segmento inferiore majore, apicibus plerumque incurvis, pallide brimuea v. flavo-
fusca, subopaca, densa ; cellulis manifeste punctiformibus. Stipula tridentatæ, dentibus acutis v. obtusis.
A very distinct species, which can scarcely be confounded with any other, of a wiry habit though pai-ticularly
graceful and slender ; this character, together with the great disproportion between the breadth of the leaves and
stem, and the unequal cellules which are so large towards the inferior margin as almost to resemble a nerve, will
readily distinguish it from any other. A similar disposition of the cellules is seen in M. inaquilaterwn, Nees.
54. J ungermannia nutans, Hook. fil. et Tayl. ; caulibus crassiusculis cæspitosis subsimplicibus erectis
incurvis apicibus sæpe nutantibus, foliis densis arcte imbricatis patentibus valde concavis late ovatis apice
inæqualiter bifidis margine subiutegris camosiusculis laxe ceUulosis, stipulis erectis late ovato-rotundatis
apice bifidis v. subdentatis, stolonibus snbbasilaribus ascendentibus ad apices demum foliosis. (Ta b . LXV.

H ab. Lord Auckland’s group ; in moist places on th e ground, and at th e roots of trees.
Caules cæspitosi, simplices, erecti, incurvi v. nutantes, u t in J. tenaci, Grev., crassiusculi, carnosuli, cellulosi,
albidi V. pallide virescentes, ad apices siccitate sæpe nigricantes, subimciales. Folia valde concava, bifida, segmento
inferiore minore, cellulis sæpe margines versus prominuhs aquosis, ad medium folii majoribus.
Very unlike any of the other species of this genus, though in some respects approaching the J. tenax, Grev.,
in which the stems are branched and the leaves multifid. The whole plant is of a singularly flaccid or flabby consistence,
formed of watery or fleshy cells, a good deal similar to those of J. notophylla, nobis (vid. ante).

Hab. CampbeR’s Island.
This we have compared and found to agree with authentic specimens of J. hirsuta, Nees, but we are not aware
where that species is pubhshed.

57. J ungermannia mollissima. Hook. fil. et Tayl.; laxe cæspitosa, implexa, caule ascendente bipinnatim
ramosissimo, foRis confertis altemis patentibus e basi lata dichotoma multifidis laciniis capiRaribus stipulis
bifidis dichotome laciniatis, calyce ex parte inferiore cauRs obovato clavato büabiato undique squamis
lineari-lanceolatis laciniatis tecto.
H ab. Lord Auckland’s group aiicl CampbeR’s Is lan d ; abundant on moist rocks on th e liiRs, on trunks
of trees in th e woods, &c.
Cæspites plani, moUes, albidi, júniores pallide virides. Caules 4 -6 unc. longi et ultra, teretes ; rami divaricati,
conferti, per totam longitudinem cauRs subæquüongi, hinc caulis subpectinatus. Folia basi patentia, sursum
erecta, apicibus incurvis. Stipula foliis conformes sed minores. Calyx sub 2 hn. longus, lateraRs ; pedicello fere
F une. longo ; capsula oblonga.
This very beautiful plant is nearly allied to J. tomentella, Ehr., from which it differs in the more procumbent
or prostrate mode of growth, in the more crowded cyhndrical (not compressed) branches, in the stipules and leaves
being broader at the base and dichotomously divided, and in the calyx bearing elongated linear-lanceolate scales.
It is also a native of New Zealand.
58. J ungermannia polyacantha. Hook. fil. et Tayl.; cauhbus subcæspitosis erectis ramosis spiculosis,
foRis laxe imbricatis patentibus stipuRsque basi angustis quadrifidis laciniis multifidis ramosis ultimis
spiculæformibus articulatis, calyce terminaR majore Riicari-obovato superne tumido subquadiidentato hispido.

vix F une. longi, parce ramosi, apicibus plerumque e foliis plurimis confertis iuerassati, spicuhs articulatis obsiti.
FoUa basi semiamplexicauUa. Stipula concavæ. Calyx vere terminahs, pro planta maximus, squamis fohaceis obovatis
multifidis hispidus.
A very curious and distinct httle species. The stems and branches have a pecuharly hispid and squaiTOse appearance,
from the acicular scales and apices of the leaves wliich beset them and poiut in aR directions. In some
respects it resembles J. tetradactyla, nobis, and in others the J. setacea and J. trichophylla, from aR of which it is
abundantly distinguished by the compound segments of the leaves. From J. tomentella, its nearest aRy, it differs
in its much smaller size and different habit, iu tbe rigid and fragile texture of its more deeply divided leaves, which
appear hardly to possess any base or lamina, and in the crenate mouth of the calyx.
