wood {e,g, a footpath) on the summit of the ridge of the Lion's 

 Eump near the Signal-station. 



Stems three or four lines long, with the leaves from half to 

 three quarters of a line wide. Leaves all whitish green, closely 

 imbricated on each side so as to leave a furrow along the middle, 

 although the stem itself is everywhere covered. The perigynium, 

 of a pale brow^nish colour, has many scattered hair-like roots ; 

 its transverse section shows it to be composed of about six 

 strata of cells, of which the interior consists of much longer some- 

 . what ovate cells affixed by their bases, the narrower ends being 

 free. Very different from L, scariosa in its greater stature, and 

 m the imbrication of its leaves (which have no scarious margin), 

 but approaching in the outline of the leaf.
