This is the third* Menziesian Jiingermannia with inciso-pin-
nated extremities to the leaves; from the two already figured,
the present essentially differs in the absence of the stipules as well
as in the general structure of the leaves, whichinost rese mbles
that of J . densifoUa and our J . albicans, as indeed does the
whole habit of the plant, A remarkable circumstance may be
observed in the corolla, which in the lower half is united with the
calyx, while the upper half is free.
