Root a small holdfast with robust, cylindrical rhizines. Stan 

 erect, cylindrical, branching in 2-3 times pinnate and alternate man- 

 ner. A few radical leaves or " rami," as they are called, are 

 present near the basal portion of the frond. Leaves are deciduous 

 and are always observed in very young individuals only, They are 

 compressed, thick and fleshy, of ovate, clavate or linear-spathulate 

 shape, more or less tapering upwards, pointed or rounded at apex, 

 coarsely dentate at the upper margin and provided with a short 

 cylindrical petiole and cryptostomata. The rami, as they are called, 

 very much vary in shape. In some they are short and clavaf.e with 

 the apical portion inflated into a pyriform vesicle. In others they 

 are several inches long, solid, cylindrical, with equal thickness 

 throught the whole length, except towards both ends, where they 

 become somewhat slender. Often some "rami" become clavate, 

 complanated above and toothed, thus assuming the appearence like 

 leaves ; such forms seem to me to be more common in the southern 

 plants. Vesicles are either mucronated or tapering upwards or fusi-
