/ (iumrh MJUNGERMANNIA
QUADRIPARTITA.
Jungermannia caule erecto subdichotome ramoso flexuoso,
foliis undique insertis distantibus erecto-patulis
4-partitis, segmentis capillaribus integerrimis vel basi
sublaciniatis. (T a b . CXVII.)
Hab. Ill insula Staten Land dicta, prope Cape Horn. D . Menzies,
1787.
Caules vix iinciam longi, filiformes, erecti, rigidi, nigri, flexuosi,
subdichotome ramosi, ramis plerumque simplicibus flexuo.sis.
Folia (apicibus vamonim exceptis ubi flavescentia sunt) intense
nigro-viridia, undique inserta, distantia, erecta, vel erecto-patentia,
ad basin fere quadripartita, segmentis divaricatis, capillaribus
aut paululum attenuatis, integris vel basi solummodo
laciniatis, laciniis brevibus horizontalibus recurvisque ; suh-
stantia areolis parvis reticulata, segmentis quasi articulatis.
There are smaller leaves mixed with the larger ones in this
plant, which I should be disposed to consider as stipules, if they
were placed with any sort of regularity. As a species it is very remarkable,
coming nearer than any other to J . setiformis, Bril.
Jung. (T a b .XX.) in the qiiadrifid division of the leaf. Its colour
is peculiarly black, except at the apices which are yellow-green.
