360 HEPATIC^ OF LOUGHBRAY, CO. WiCKLOW.
Placjinchila asplenioides Dumort. Plentiful on damp banks.
P.spinulosa Dumort. Plentiful in woods and on damp banks.
Mijlia Taylori B. Gray. On damp ground, in targe patches.
— M. anomala B. Gray. Considered by many hepaticists a
doubtful species, and closely allied to the former. Dr. Carrington
states the cells are of a different form from those in M. Taylori, and
contain fusciform corpuscles, and we have observed, amongst other
differences, that it wants the papillose character of the outer cellwall,
so obvious in M. Taylori. Hab. Amongst Sphagnum, D. McA.
& P. W. M,, 1889. We have gathered the same plant on Brandon
Mountain, Kerry, in 1881.
Jumjermania crenulata Sm. Abundant by the roadside, D. McA.
& R. W. S., 1889.—Var. gracillima Hook. Abundant ; often mixed
with the preceding. Dr. Moore states that at Westaston, Co.
Wicklow, this variety is abundant,
grows with it. — J. pumila With.
and none of the true crenulata
In the crevices of damp rocks
near streams, Dr. Moore. J. sphoerocarpa Hook. Abundant on wet
rocks and on the margin of the lake, on the damp bank among
stones. J. riparia Tayl. J. nana Nees. Stems csespitose, from a
quarter to half an inch high ; innovations arising below the apex,
slender, terete ;
larger; perianth obtuse, plicate, quadrangular; vnonih four -toothed,
capsule globose. On wet banks near streams ; apparently a rare
plant in Ireland, and closely allied to J. crenulata and rjracillima.—
cells large, pellucid, those of the margin somewhat
J. Dlcksoni Hook. On rocks and moist banks, very rare ; single
stems only {Dr. Moore). The re-discovery of this plant in this or
any other locality would be interesting.—
