Hab. Hermite Island, Cape Horn ; on moist banks near the sea. Ccespites suberecti, flavo-virescentes. Folia disticha, vix imbricata, segmentis plenunque recurvis, ramis hinc (siccitate prajcipue) squarrosis.
So nearly allied to the previous species that a particular description is hardly required; it differs conspicuously in the colour. These species were never seen passing into one another, and both are remarkably constant to their characters. They belong, with the /. vertebralis, Gottsche (Pt. 1. p. 153), of Lord Auckland's group and Tasmania, also a very closely allied plant, to a distinct section of the genus. The /. cMoroleuca differs from /. vertebralis in colour, size, and different texture, also in the form of the leaves and ciliation ; and from /. densifolia, besides the colour, mentioned above, in the denser tissue of the remote leaves, which are much broader at the base, and whose areola? are blended together, in their long ciliation and bifid apices.

Hab. Hermite Island, Cape Horn; creeping through tufts of mosses in the woods.
The leaves of these specimens are slightly serrulate along the margins, in which respect alone the plant differs from that found in Lord Auckland's group.

Hab. Hermite Island, Cape Horn.
Dense casspitosa, rufo-brunnea. Guides fere 2 una longi, siccitate fragiles, irregulariter repetitim ramosi, rarius superne paido incrassati.

Calyces minuti, valde hiconspicui, ore albido scarioso.
Closely allied to the /. cryptodon, Wils. MS., of the Andes of Colombia, which has a similarly toothed lower lobe of the leaf, equally produced at the base across the stem. The present is a larger plant, with more imbricated and erect leaves, their lower lobe smaller, and the produced portion larger in proportion.
