Additional Hepatics since Recognised

Plagiochila prolifer, Radula allisonii, and a species of an undescribed genus.

– 500 –

(Note—On rocks on the lip of a waterfall in Pegasus Creek, I collected a hepatic which Mrs. Hodgson recognised to be new and forwarded to Prof. Herzog. He replied that it was a new genus and suggested the name Pachyglossa tristicha. If not a member of the Haplomitraceae, it probably represents a new family. However, the perianths were immature and better material may be necessary to establish its relationships.)
