JUNGERMANNIA SINUOSA.
Jungermannia caule elongato erecto siibramoso, foliis
distichis borizontalibns oblongis decurrentibus biden-
tatis margine superiore undulata, stipulls 5 -fidis segmentis
laciniatis, calyce laterali ex inferiore parte caulis
ovato ore laciniato. (Tab. CXIII.)
H ab. Ill siiiu Dusky bay dicto apud Novam Zeelandiam.
D . Menzies, 1791.
Caules 3-4-pollicaves, erecti, simplices vel per innovationes divisi,
fusco-nigricantes, inferne denudati. Folia bifaria, erecta, disticha,
vertlcalia, horizontaliter patentia, arcte imbricata, pallide
fusco-viridia, oblonga, basi decurrentia, apice bidentata,
margine superiore insigniter undulata et subrevoluta, areolis
niinulis reticulata. Perichætialia minora, laciniato-dentata.
Stipulæ quinquefidæ, segmentis longis, attenuatis, lateralibus
recurvis, marginibus laciniato-dentatis. Calyx in ramulis pro-
priis brevissimis ex parte inferiore caulis egredientibus, lateralis,
ovatus, ore coarctato, laciniato, laciniis inflexis. Seta sub-
uncialis. Capsula oblongo-ovata.
The singularly undulate superior margins of the leaves, their
bidentate apices, and the form of the stipules, will readily distinguish
this species from J . horizontalis, with which it has considerable
natural affinity. It is remarkable for its lengthened stalk,
which is bare of leaves in its lower half.
