pale tawny by age, on alate footstalks, once or twice dicho- 
tomous, the lobes oblong, rounded, deeply dentate, having a 
very shallow sinus at the tops; their substance is thin, the 
cellules very distinct. Calyx situated towards the base of 
the frond, on the under side of the nerve, having three or 
more laciniated scales, from the bosom of which rises the 
linear elongated calyptra bearing pistilla on its summit. 
Capsule large, conspicuous, cylindrical, splitting with the 
tops of the valves at first cohering; spiral filaments very 
long, bent, often twisted together, capsule one tenth of an 
inch long. On distinct individuals are perigonia of nume-

phyllum, Hook., ours is distinct by the stipes rising at once 
from the ground, the wider and more dentate lobes.
