Caulis 2-4-uncialis, laxe czespitosus, ramis polymorphis. Folia 2-linearia, 
viridia fulvescentia aurescentiave, sicca parum mutata, serrulatione mar- 
ginis plus minus conspicua. Pedunculus 3 unciam longus, interdum fere 
uncialis. Theca 13 lineam longa. 
Between the specimens from Jamaica and those from New 
Granada there appears no appreciable difference in stature or in 
structure, but in some of those from the Quitenian Andes the 
stems are shorter, the leaves longer, wider, and more densely 
inserted, giving the specimens a very different aspect; yet in 
Mr. Spruce's specimens, n. 392, these forms are shown to be but 
the same species. 
30. B. scoparia (Schwegr. t. 241). Caules steriles in czspites latis- 
simos congesti, longissimi, parce tomentosi, ramis pinnate dispositis in- 
zequalibus rectiusculis vel horizontalibus flaccidis, approximatis vel remotis ; 
fertiles multo humiliores foliosi et inter folia valde tomentosi, apice ramis 
fasciculatis brevibus, erectis. Folia caulina sicca et madefacta erecto- 
patentia, laxiuscula, basi plicata, utrinque ad marginem inferiorem cellulis 
nonnullis multo majoribus laxioribus fuscidulis areolata, in subulam 
lanceolatam longissime cuspidatam denticulatam plus minus plicatam 
producta, margine inferne revoluta, e cellulis angustissimis subpellucidis 
reticulata; perichetialia caulinis similia. Theca in pedunculo elongato 
erecto, pyriformi-ovata, erecta, regularis, perfecte sulcata.— C. Müll. Syn.
