sensim cuspidatis, cuspide cellulis 4-8 uniseriatis constante, 
circinato-forficatis et cum contrariis intextis; margine externo 
medio dentibus sub 38, dissitis armata, sinu prelato semicirculari 
plerumque dentes 2, longiores monstrante, dentibus omnibus

ore recte truncato crebre setosa ciliolatave. Andrecia plurijuga, 
in caule ramisque basalia terminaliave ; bractee foliis subminores, 
breviter bifide, segmentis strictis, acuminatis (cuspide nulla), basi 
esaccate, antice tamen lobulo inflato antheridium solitarium 
velante aucte.—Folia 5 x°25, sacculus *1-"12, cellule 35-qp; 
bractee 1:25 x07 ; perianthia 2'5 x°65—70 mm. 
Hab. Super Aneuram sp., in crateris Grande Souffriére dicti 
margine insule Dominice (Entiort, no. 886, Dec. 1892). 
Obs. The typical form of this species was gathered in Cuba by 
the late Mr. C. Wright, and the specimens were issued after 
his death, under Gottsche’s MS. name by Prof. Asa Gray, in 1886. 
It differs from the Dominican variety in the leaves being more 
spinose, the sinus rather shallower and less rounded, aud the 
shorter segments—less incurved and horn-like. 
Genus 8. ALoBIELLA, Spruce. 
92. A. Husnoti, Gottsche, in Rev. Bry. 1875, p. 3; Journ. de 
Botanique, 1893, p. 187.—Dominica, Morne Anglais (494), 
Morne Trois Pitons (490, 718).—This species was gathered 
by me in 1855 in the Peruvian Andes and by M. Husnot in 
Guadeloupe. Mr. Elliott’s specimens possess perfect perianths. 
The following species is new and very distinct.
