436 Xees,JiJ. Montague in Toy. au Pole Sud, Bot. Crypt, p. 256 [non Jung, coadunata, Swart z.) (Tab. CLIX. Fig. VI.)

Hab. Hermite Island, Cape Horn ; moist places in the woods. Ceespites late extensi, plani, pallide fusco-olivacei. Caules 1-2 unc. longi." Folia vix imbricata, patentia, ovata, apicem versus dilatata et in segrnenta 2 subulata subcaudata fissa, laxe cellidosa. Stipulee parvfe, cauli subaeqiiilatae. Folia perichaetialia erecta, lateralibus emargiuatis dentatiscpie, intercnedio seu stipulari bifido integerrimo. Seta uncialis. Capsula ovalis.

This is one of the many southern forms of Lopliocolea nearly related to one another, and to J. bidentata of Europe; it differs from J. seeundifolia, in the leaves being horizontally patent and not secund ; from J.diademata, nob., of New Zealand, in the calyx and less spreading foliage ; and from J.pl/ysant/ia, nob., of the same country, also by the totally different calyx, from all three by the divisions of the mouth of the latter organ being dentate. We are indebted to our friend M. Montague for a specimen of his /. coadunata, so named by Nees, but which we do not consider to be the plant of Swartz.

47. Jcxgeimax'XIA Aitmifiisa, Hook. fil. et Tayl.; eaule flaccido procnmbente implexe ramoso, foliis approxiruatis subimbricatis horizontaliter patentibus planis oblongis antice gibbosis emarginato-dentatis integerrimis, stipidis bipartitis segmentis subulato-setaceis extus unidentatis quadripartitisve. Nobis in Lond. Jonrn. Bot. vol. hi. p. 472. (Tab. CLLX. Kg. V.)

Hab. Kerguelen's Land ; on the rhizoinata of Pringlea.

Ceespites lati, explanati, appressi, palhde virides. Caulis uncialis, irregulariter ramosus, ad stipidas radieans. Folia approximata, vix imbricata, basi latiora, decurrentia, siuu apice formfe irregulari. Calyx ovato-oblongus, trigonus; augulo unico alato, subdentato. Perigonia in spicas ovato-lanceolatas secus ramos obvias disposita, foliohs imbricatis, ventricosis.

Very nearly allied to /. leptantlia and perhaps not distinct from it ; though we have preferred separating species from such widely-severed localities as these affect, when, as in this case, they present tangible characters. Those of this species will be found in the more erect leaves, with lax areolse, wide and decurrent bases, and more setaceous stipules.

48. Jtxgermaxxia alternifolia, Hook. fil. et Tayl.; caule gracih laxe hnplexo procumbente parce ramoso, foliis tlaccidis laxe reticulatis alternis patentibus planis triangulari-ovatis emargiuatis decurrentibus segmentis spinoso-acuminatis integerrimis, stipulis minutis Cjuadripartitis segmentis setaceis, calyee terminali triangulari-cylindraceo ore trilabiato ciliato. Nobis in Lond. Journ. Bot. vol. iv. p. 83. (Tab. CLXI. Fig. II.)

Hab. Falkland Islands ; on moist banks near the sea.

Ceespites luride mides, ramis substrictis. Folia basi decurrentia, laxe reticidata ; periekatialia 4- longitudine calycis, erecta, concava, subciliata. Capsula oblongo-rotimdata.

Belated to /. liumifusa, but distinguishable by the deep division of the apex of the leaf, the longer segments, the more decurrent bases and the wider segments of the stipules. This species was erroneously described (Lond. Journ. Bot. 1. c.) as a native of Xew Zealand ; from whence we have never seen specimens.
