JUNGERMANNIA LANATA.
Jungermannia caule erecto compresso pinnatim ramoso,
foliis bifariis horizontalibus inæqualiter bilobis, lobis
conduplicatis stipulisque ciliato-multifidis, calyce oblongo,
foliis perichætialibus oblongis ciliato-multifidis
obtecto. (Tab. CXVI.)

Caulis erectus,compressus, pinnatim ramosus, ramis distantibus,
subhorizontaliter patentibus, longiusculis, non raro ramis brevibus
iterum pinnatis. Folia densissime imbricata, disticha,
horizontalia, pallide glaueo-viridia, inæqualiter biloba, lobis
conduplicatis ciliato-multifidis, ciliis longis divaricatis articulatis
; substantia tenuis, areolis oblongis magnis reticulata.
Stipules subquadratæ ciliato-multifidæ. Calyx plerumque axillaris,
oblongo-ovatus, subcarnosus, foliis perichætialibus vel
squamulis angustis laciniatis obtectns. Seta biuncialis. Capsula
ovata intense fusca, quadrivalvis.
The broad compressed stems and branches, taken in conjunction
with the leaves of this plant, its more crowded foliage, together
with the much less degree of ramification, indicate to a
casual observer a very striking difference from J . tomentella ; but
when the leaves and stipules, and even the parts of fructification,
come to be more carefully examined, a specific character can
hardly be found :—in the subject of the present plate they are
certainly less deeply cut into capillary or ciliary segments, but in
other respects the two plants are precisely alike.
