slightly recurved. Calyces on very short naked stalks, at 

 the base somewhat bulging down. Its minute size, bifid 

 leaves, and nearly entire stipules are very distinctive.

In loose whitish green patches. Stems 2 inch long; 

 shoots, flat. Leaves loosely imbricated, their tops recurved. 

 Stipules not wider than the stems. The two lips of the 

 calyx compressed and together curving down. The lateral 

 pericheetial leaves each with one or two spinous teeth on the 

 anterior margin, the stipular bifid, sometimes quadrind. 

 The inner pericheetial leaves the smaller. 



6. C. supinus, Hook. fil. et Tayl.; caule supino, implexo, 

 subramoso ; foliis laxe imbricatis, patentibus, oblongis, 

 subbidentatis, margine ventrali gibboso, recurvo ; stipulis 

 6-8 laciniatis, segmentis subulatis ; calyce hypophyllo, 

 laterali, campanulato, ore flexuoso-laciniato.

Patches wide; younger parts pale yellowish-olive, the 

 older dusky brown. Leaves sometimes entire, sometimes 

 trifid, but commonly bidentate, the sinus obtuse. Segments 

 of the stipules sometimes dentate. Pericheetial leaves nearly 

 as long as the calyx, one of them larger, 3-4-fid, the lesser 

 bifid, the stipular the shortest. Related to our C. bidliatus, 

 likewise from New Zealand, but is smaller, with the tops of 

 the leaves less rounded, their sinus deeper, and the stipules 

 more laciniated.
