A 



small 



species allied to M. pnsiUnm, N. E. Br., but differs from that 

 species by tlie outline of the larger growtlis that arc not flattened by having 

 divided, being much more oblong in outline or much broader in proportion to 

 their thickness, and by the more numerous and more crowded lines on the 

 top, wliich form a somewhat labyrinth-like pattern. It has not yet flowered 

 in this country so far as known to me.
