Only one dried specimen now before us. Frond dichotomously 

 branched, with slender cylindrical stem measuring ca. 1 mm. in 

 thickness. Branches widely parted and flexuose, solid, provided wilh 

 simple bladder-like obovate ramuli which are furnished with short 

 pedicels, 1.5-3 mm. long taking both together. Fruits of both kinds 

 unknown. Colour purplish vinoso-red. Substance membranaceous and 

 rather firm in stem, and the plant pretty well adheres to paper in 



drying. 



Hab. : Tanegashima (Egawa). Very rare. 



The anatomical characters well agree with those illustrated in
