Junyermania hjcopodioides, var. Floerkii, Lindb. Musc. Scand. p. 7 (1879).
Dioioons, cæ.spitose, small to medium in size, pale or dark
green to greenish-brown in colour. Stems erect or procumbent,
arcuate serpentine, rigid, simple or furcate; radiculose, rootlets
whitish, few. Leaves sub-vertically inserted, horizontal, imbrioate,
subrotnnd, tridentate (very rarely bi-quadridentate) to about J,
sinuses acute or rounded, segments acute, margin of leaf entire
with the exception of a small postical basal tooth ; texture somewhat
firm, cells smallish, roundish-quadrate, walls firm, trigones
small, distinct. Stipules simple, bifid or bipartite, with one or
two longish cilia or teeth near the base, segments linear-lanceolate,
entire. Bracts quadrifid, undulate. Bracteole broadly ovate,
bidentate. Perianth terminal, oblong, acutely plicate above.
Male plant not seen.
D imensions.—Stems -J to 1J inoli long, diam. A mm. to '4 mm.,
with leaves 2' mm. broad; leaves 1'2 mm. long x lA mm. broad,
segments A mm., 1' mm. x 1- mm., seg. A mm., A mm. x IT mm.,
seg. A mm.; cells AS mm., A2 mm., A3 mm. x A25 mm.!
stipules -7 mm. long x A mm. broad at the base, '7 mm. x '25 mm.,
A5 mm. x '2 mm.
O b s .—There is little doubt that this is merely a variety of
Jimgermania hjcopodioides, Wallr., from which it is distinguished
by its smaller size, segments not mucronate, and, instead of being
furnished with large basal cilia, a short simple segment only is
evident. The stipules are not so ciliate.
I have seen neither J or ?, the description of bracts, bracteole
and perianth being taken from Nees “ Eur. Leber.”
A number of forms are described by Nees, the most striking
being var. Naumanniana, N., which is found with us; except in
the largeness of its size, I see nothing to separate it from var.
Floerkii.
H a b .—Growing on rocks and walls, moderately rare, usually
in subalpine localities.

Dioicous, growing in loose patches or amongst mosses, medium
in size, of a reddish-brown colour. Stems simple or diohotomously
branched, ascending or erect, firm; radiculose, rootlets long,
hyaline. Leaves subhorizontal to patent-divergent, sub-vertical

margin entire, often unidentate at the base, bifid to
