JUNGERMANNIA PHYLLANTHUS.
Jungermannia stipitata, frondibus ovato-lanceolatis simpiicibus
nervosis integerrimis, fructu e costa superiori
frondis basin versus, calyce duplice, ext. parvo squamoso,
¿«G oblongo cylindraceo carnoso. (Tab.XCV.)
Hab. In sinu Dusky bay dicto, in Nova Zeelandia. Z). Menzies,
1 7 9 1 .
Caudex repens, hic illic radicibus tomentosis obtectus. Stipites
plurimi ex eodem caudice subunciales, filiformes, flexuosi, sub-
erecti, glabri vel radicibus tomentosi. Frons uncialis fere
longa, ovato-lanceolata, carnoso-membranacea, minute reticulata,
fusco-viridis, margine undulata, omnino integerrima, basi
attenuata, apice obtusa, nervo tenui obscuro percursa. Fructus
e basi frondis ortus et e parte anteriore nervi. Calyx
duplex, ext. parvus, squamosus, int. tres lineas longus, oblongo
cylindraceus, carnosus, fuscus, ore lacerato. Corolla cylindracea,
membranacea, albida, corporibus pistill*fonnibus obtecta.
Sela subbiuncialis. Capsula oblongo-cylindracea,
fusca, 4-valvis, valvis non raro apicibus cohaerentibus.
This species, again, like J . rhizobola, is most clearly allied to
J . Lyellii, and hibernica, differing however essentially from them
in the presence of a caudex and stipes, in the much thicker te.x-
tqre of the frond, as well as in its different outline.
