mouth somewhat plaited and toothed. The capsule exactly
spherical, opening into 4 equal valves.
For the discovery of this Jungermannia we are indebted
to the late Miss Hutchins of Bantry, who found it in a
mountain rivulet near that place. Dr. Taylor likewise
gathered it in a stream upon Castle-Kelly Mountain, county
of Wicklow; and these are all the stations that are at present
known for it. The capsules are perfected in April,
and calyces are found during most of the summer months.
As a species J . lanifolia will rank next to J.julacea, from
■which it differs in its paler colour, far softer texture, larger
cellules, and different perichaetial leaves.—W. J. H.
