Adolf Pascher: Gageae generis duae species novae indicae. m 



Of low growth, richly branched, internodes short (Vj— 3 — 5 cm). 

 Leaves darkgreen, linear (1 mm broad), obtuse. Sheaths 25 — 35 mm in 

 length bronwish green. Stipules as usual. Stigma and pollen likewise. 



Anatomy of the stem: endodermis-cells weakly onesided thickened; 

 3 bastbundles in the barkparenchyma on each side the central cylinder, 

 the latter terete (in transv. sect, orbicular). 



The long sheaths and the leaves that are of nearly equal breath quite 

 up to the apex; the latter with a short rounding or often angular shape 

 distinguish this form from all others.
