JUNGERMANNIA MENZIESIl.
Jungermannia caule elongato repente dense bipinnatim
ramoso ; foliis disticlús horizontalibus inæqualiter bilobis
conduplicatis ciliatis, lobis rotundatis, lobulis
minutis oblongis, ramorum claviformi-saceatis, stipulis
quadrifidis ciliatis, ramorinn segmentis duobus clii-
viformi-saccatis. (Tab. CXVIII.)
Ha b . In insula Staten Land dicta, prope Cape Horn. T). Menzies,
1787.
Caulis 3-4-poIlicaris, repens, subflexuosus, dense bipinnatim di-
visus, pinnis pinnnlisque horizontalibus. Folia arcte imbricata,
horizontalia, disticha, fuscescentia, nitore expertia, inæqualiter
biloba, pulcherrime ciliata, ciliis longis .subdistantibus,
lobis conduplicatis; superioribus sen majoribus rotundatis pla-
niusculis ; hiferiorihus sen lobulis multo minoribus, caulium
oblongis, acuminatis, marginibus recurvis longe ciliatis (fig. 2 .),
ramorum plerumque clavifbi mi-saccatis nunc setigeris (fig. 3.).
Stipulæ magnæ, quadripartitæ, segmcíitis longe acuminatis,
marginibus recurvis ciliatis, ramorum duobus intermediis non
raro clavifornii-saccatis. (fig. 5.) Fruclificatiouem non vidi.
This species again belongs to the same curious family with
J . clavigera, J . magellanica and palpehrifolia, approaching
nearest to the latter in the foliage, but differing from it in the
leaves being ciliated with long hair-like processes in the undivided
lobule, and considerably also in the ramification, which is
here closely beset with pinnae and pinnulae, and these so horizontally
placed that they might almost be called pectinate. Their
places of growth are widely distant.
