These specimens, like those from New Zealand, correspond nearly with British states of the species, which
differ so greatly in size from those foimd in tropical countries, and of which two, appai'ently mere forms, have been
described by Dr. Taylor as distinct species, namely, S. runcinala, Tayl., which has its lenves more secund, and their
margins more incurved, but otherwise presents no differences, and S. pensilU, Tayl. which seems to owe all its peculiarities
to having grown in water. Both these states were gathered on the Andes, near Quito, by Professor Jameson.

“ Creeping, scattered, pale oîive-liroivn. Stems scarcely half an incli long ; branches veiy' slender, their leaves
minute. Leaves cup-shaped, with an obtuse angle at the point most distant from the stem. The lobule has a tumid
base, whilst its top lies flat on the inner part of the leaf, and has a single angle pointing outwards. The perigonia
occiu- m the coiu'se of the shoots, and are remarkably long and large in proportion to the size of the stems. The
present is the minutest of the Radula yet observed, and is readily distinguished by its peculiar perio'onia.”—
Dr. Taylor. °
Not now present in British herbaria. It is just possible that it is the male plant of R. Novee-Hollandice.
