Caules basi decumbentes, ramosi, vix unciales. Folia caulina structura 
iis S. helicophylli similia sed breviora, et statu sicco modo diverso dis- 
posita, caulem teretiusculum fingentia. Folia in apicibus ramorum inte- 
riora minora abbreviata, nervis e puncto versus foli medium filamentis 
angustis elongatis articulatis pallide viridibus onustis. 
Although the leaves in this species, so far as can be seen in the 
specimens, are almost destitute of teeth, it is most probable that 
fruiting specimens would have the leaves more or less dentate.
