Dioicous {1). Fronds forming shallow erecto-decumbent tufts 

 of an intense but dull green colour. Stems simple, or in older 

 plants 2-3 times furcate annotinous, widest near the apex, giving 

 off branches on each side below the involucral whorls, branches 

 divaricate, leaves succubous or transverse, accrescent, erecto- 

 patent amplexicaul, complicate, broadly quadrate, divided 

 nearly half-way down into two obtuse nearly equal 2- to 3-lobed 

 repand segments, margins crisped, refiexed at each sinus, fringed 

 with slender unicellular cilia, often hamate at the apex ; under- 

 leaves similar ; 5 inv. bracts 4-5 laciniate-ciliate connate with the 

 bifid bracteole patent from an erect sheathing base, perianth 

 terminal, half-immersed elliptic-ovate, deeply 5-6-plicate, apex 

 minutely dentate. 



Dioicous. Growing in large shallow tufts. Fronds suberect, 

 moderate size, of an intense but dull green colour. Stems simple, 

 or in older plants Avith 2 or 3 stems arising from below the 

 involucre, fragile, cells of stem about 40 in circumference, 12x15 

 hyaline, walls thin, outer row of cells with slightly thicker walls, 

 leaves succubous, obliquely inserted, some almost transverse, 

 accrescent, capitate, amplexicaul, complicate or spreading, quad- 

 rate, lobate at the base, divided to about the middle into 2 

 obtuse nearly equal 2-3-lobed repand segments, margins crisped, 

 reflexed at each sinus, fringed with slender unicellular acicular 

 cilia, often hamate at the apex ; cells of a moderate size, 4-5 and 

 6-sided, no trigones. Underleaves large, similar to the leaves in 

 almost every respect. Bracts sub-reniform in outline, 4-5 lobate
