r. TUMID A, Mitt. Caulis prostratus simplex brevis. Folia 

 sursum incurva tumide imbricata conniventia ambitu rotundata 

 concava integerrima e cellulis laxis pellucidis auguste limitatis 

 areolata. Perianthium turbinatum margine repando-subdentato. 

 Capsula magna sporis hemisphaericis obscuris papillosis. (PI. IV. 



figs. 10 to 13.) 



Hah. On damp ground near the pine-plantation at the foot of 

 the Lion's Head, near the beginning of the Kloof road. Cape 

 Town. 



Stems from 2 to 4 lines long, the rootlets purple as usual in 

 the genus, with the leaves a line wide. Leaves whitish green 

 tinged with purplish brown, imbricated iu such a manner that 

 the plants have the appearance of being inflated when wet — which 

 partly remains in the dry state, as thej do not become crisped 



or contorted. 



In many respects this species agrees with the F. intestinaUs, 

 Taylor, from Australia ; but in that the spores are almost smooth 

 and without evident papilla?.
