JUNGERMANNIA CRISPATA.
Jmigermannia caule procumbente pinnatim ramoso,
foliis bifariis integerrimis inæqualiter lobatis crispatis,
lobis superioribus majoribus ovatis, inferioribus ligu-
latis, stipulis cordatis. (Tab. CXLIII.)
H a b . In umbrosis montis Quindiu ad radices Quercus Granatensis
juxta la Guebrada de Torba, altit. 1050 hexapod.
Humboldt et Bonpland.
Caules 3 ad 4 uncias longi, procumbentes, filiformes, fusci,
flexuosi, pinnatim ramosi, primis alterne patentibus, hic illic
pinnati iterum. Folia basi laxe disposita, reliqua dense, superne
imbricata, bifaria, disticha, horizontaliter patentia, integerrima,
biloba; lobis superioribus ovatis, obtusis, convexiusculis,
margine inferiore præcipue insigniter crispatis vel undulatis ;
inferioribus ligulatis, undulatis. Color flavo-virescens. S li-
pulce cordatæ, planiusculæ, marginibus lateralibus revolutis.
Fructificatio ignota.
The curiously crisped leaves of this species have a very beautiful
appearance, and will serve at first sight to distinguish it from
J . platyphylla, with which it has so many points in common,
th a t, even if possessed of this character alone, constant as it appears
to be, I should not venture upon describing it as distinct,
A more important mark of difference is observable in the shape
of the stipules, which are here cordate ; in J . platyphylla ligu-
late. It is more like the var. |3. of J . platyphylla than the common
appearance of it.
