A Th. bifario Br. .lav. simillimo statura robustiorc cellulisque foliorum rainulloorum 

 obscuris, minoribus difl'ort. 



Diese Art steht freilich dem Th. bifarium sehr nahe, unterscheidet sicli dock dutch 

 kleinere, undurchsichtige Blattzcllen. Wahrscheinlich werden sich neue Merkmale bei 

 I'Vuchtexemplaren finden.
