JUNGERMANNIA CONJUGATA.
Jungermannia caule repente, ramis erectis divisis, foliis
erectis bifariis appressis rotundatis spinuloso-dentatis
oppositis atque basi utrinque connatis, calyce terminali
urceolato, ore compresso cibato spinoso-dentato,
seta brevi. (Tab. XCI.)
Ha b . In sinu Dusky bay dicto, in Nova Zeelandia. D . Me«-
Mei, 1 7 9 1 .
Caulis repens, flexuosus, sublignosus, denudatus. Rami erecti,
rigidi, flexuosi, subpinnatim divisi, apice dilatati. Folla arcte
bifariam imbricata, erecta, cauli appressa, plana, subnitida,
rotundata, versus apicem præcipue spinuloso-dentata, oppo-
sita, basi utrinque evidentissime connata. Ferichætialia
magis connata, et calyci valde similia, magis spinosa. Calyx
urceolatus, basi ventricosus, apice compressus, ore ciliato-
spinoso.
The fructification of J , conjugata greatly resembles that of
J , adiantoides and spinulosa ; but a decided mark of discrimination
may he found in the leaves, which are truly united at their
base all round the stem, and thus the plant becomes perfoliate
in a most remarkable degree.
