126. OLIMAOIUM, Web, & Mohr. (PL 5.) 

 Plants large, tree-like, arising from a subterranean radiculose 

 stem ; primary branches erect, simple below, fasciculately 

 branching above. Leaves of the primary branches squamiform ; 

 those of the divisions crowded, erect-spreading, imbricate when 

 dry, decurrent, thinly costate. Flowers dioecious or abnormally 

 monoecious ; perichtetial leaves long-sheathing. Fruit clustered. 

 Calyptra dimidiate, long, embracing the base of the pedicel. 

 Capsule long-pedicellate, erect, cylindrical-oblong. Operculum

 linear-lanceolate, closely articulate ; segments arising from a 

 very narrow membrane, as long as the teeth, cleft between
