eo tubulosum Urban, Bot. Jahrb. vol. 23. Beibl. 57. p. 5. 
More or less pseudodichotomous, the rather long branches with basal 
eataphyls only, dioeeious?. Internodes moderate (2-3x25-60 mm.), 
smooth, from ancipital becoming terete. Cataphyls basal, a single pair, 
tubular, scarious-margined. Leaves faleately lanceolate, obtuse, 2-2.5x14 
em., finely about 7-nerved, cuneately subpetioled for some 10 mm. Spikes 
more or less clustered, moderate (becoming 30-40 mm. in fruit), with 3 
or 4 joints turbinately about 18-flowered in 4+2 series: peduncle about 
3 mm. long: scales scarcely ciliate, rather acutely divergent. Fruit (im- 
mature) subglobose, nearly smooth, 3 mm. in diameter: sepals closely in- 
flexed.— Plate 84. 
Venezuelan region.—The type from Venezuela. 
Specimens examined.— VENEZUELA. Tovar (Fendler, 1106,—the

parted, somewhat scarious-margined. Leaves subfaleately lanceolate,

lengthening to 30 mm.), with about 3 rather fusiform joints some 36-flow-
