Fronds erect, coespitose rising from a callous disc with a cylindrical 

 stem, 1-1.5 mm. thick, 15-25 cm. long, undivided, but beset from top to 

 bottom with branches of the same nature and substance as itself, patent, 

 disposed in an irregularly spiral alternate manner (some 10 cm., others 

 scarcely 3-5 mm. long, the middle ones in general the longest), all like 

 the stem beset with patent ramuli growing in small clusters with a very

 and scarcely thicker than hog's bristles. This clustered arrangement of 

 the ramuli is more evident in the branches and toward the upper part
