264 Wuite: THE NIDULARIACEAE OF NoRTH AMERICA | 
The above description is based on the original specimens. 
Schweinitz, in his description of this species, says: ‘‘ Sporangiis 
non nitentibus, sed superficie reticulato-rugosa,’’ but no such 
markings were noticeable. 
This is a pretty little species, and is known only from its 
original collection. |
