Campbell's Islands.] pulis bifitlis dichotome laciniatis, calyce ex parte inferiore caulis obovato clavato bilabiate- undique squamis liueari-lanceolatis laciniatis tecto.

Hab. Lord Auckland's group and Campbell's Island; abundant on moist rocks on the hills, on trunks of trees in the woods, &c.

Caspites plani, molles, albidi, juniores pallide virides. Caules 4-6 imc. lorigi et ultra, teretes ; rami divaricati, conferti, per totam longitudinem caulis subaequilongi, hinc caidis subpectinatus. Folia basi patentia, sursum erecta, apicibus incui'vis. Stipules foliis conformes sed minores. Calyx sub 2 lin. longus, lateralis ; pedicello fere -5- unc. longo ; capsula oblonga.

This very beautiful plant is nearly allied to /. tomentella, Ekr., from which it differs in the more procumbent or prostrate mode of growth, in the more crowded cylindrical (not compressed) branches, in the stipules and leaves being broader at the base and dichotomously divided, and in the calyx bearing elongated linear-lanceolate scales. It is also a native of New Zealand.

Hab. Lord Auckland's group ; in woods near the sea.

Caules tenues, graciles, laxi, inter Muscos Hepaticasque alias dispersi, v. csespitosi, pallide flavi, flaccidi, debiles, vix unc. longi, parce ramosi, apicibus plerumque e foliis purimis confertis incrassati, spiculis articulatis obsiti. Folia basi semiamplexicaulia. Stipules concava?. Calyx vere terminalis, pro planta maximus, squamis foliaceis obovatis multifidis hispidus.

A very curious and distinct little species. The stems and branches have a peculiarly hispid and squarrose appearance, from the acicular scales and apices of the leaves which beset them and point in all directions. In some respects it resembles /. tetradacfyla, nobis, and in others the /. setacea and J. trichophylla, from all of which it is abundantly distinguished by the compound segments of the leaves. From /. tomentella, its nearest ally, it differs in its much smaller size and different habit, in the rigid and fragde texture of its more deeply divided leaves, which appear hardly to possess any base or lamina, and in the crenate mouth of the calyx.
