Hab, Tutuila, on tree-ferns (1500-2000 ft.). No. 128. 



Stems from 6 to 12 inches high, with one or two short branches 

 near their tops, or undivided. Leaves at the apices of the stems 

 straw-coloured, the lower ones fulvous, and almost all of them 

 broken off below the middle of the recurved part ; towards and 

 at the apices of the stems a few remain entire ; these are rather 

 more than an inch in length : the noble appearance of this fine 

 species must, when uimiutilated, far exceed that of the S. lon- 

 ffifoUns, Lindbg., MS., from the Philippine Islands.
