There are several European species of Jungermannia (such as
J . nemorosa, J . undulata, &c.), with a habit similar to the one
here figured, and with leaves of a like form; but none, that I am
yet acquainted with, which has the stipules placed on the same
side of the stems with the larger lobes of the leaf. In this particular
our plant differs most remarkably from J. iomentella, with
winch at first sight it may appear allied, and naturally ranks with
J . appendlculata and J. nolilis of the Musei Exotici, It is
remarkable in its leaf-bearing calyx (such as is seen in J . compressa
and a few other British species), and in its pubescent foliage
and stipules.
