smooth, the upper somewhat ancipitally compressed. Cataphyls mostly 
a single pair, nearly basal, tubular-bifid, white-margined. Leaves more 
or less faleately laneeolate, obtuse, 1.5-2.5x8-12 em., euneately narrowed 
below rather than petioled. Spikes mostly clustered, rather short (20 
mm.), with about 4 oblong joints some 10-flowered in 4--2 series: pedun- 
cle almost suppressed: scales somewhat ciliate. Fruit ovoid, 3x4 mm., 
smooth: sepals closely inflexed.—Plate 136.

More or less pseudodichotomous, the elongated branches with basal 
eataphyls only, androgynous. Internodes short (2-3x30 mm.), smooth, 
ancipital and somewhat dilated upwards. Cataphyls a nearly basal pair, 
often with a second pair scarcely 5 mm. higher, scarcely tubular, white- 
margined. Leaves narrowly oblong-lanceolate, abruptly very obtuse, 
1x7-10 em., long-attenuate into the subpetiolar base. Spikes mostly soli- 
tary, moderate (25-30 mm.), with about 3 slender joints 2- to 6- or 10- 
flowered in 2, 4 or 44-2 series: peduncle about З mm. long, usually with а 
pair of basal seales. Fruit subglobose, 3 mm. in diameter, smooth: sepals

Phoradendrum Wattii Krug & Urban, Bot. Jahrb. v. 24. p. 43. 1897. 
More or less pseudodichotomous, the long branches with basal cata- 
phyls only, dioeeious. Internodes moderate (2-3x30-50 mm.), minutely 
papillate and for a time varnished like the young foliage, somewhat eom- 
pressed rather than aneipital Cataphyls a single pair 2-3 mm. above 
the base, or 2 pairs the first nearly basal and the second, exceptionally 
fertile, some 5 mm. higher, aeute. Leaves more or less faleately elliptieal 
to broadly oblanceolate, very obtuse, 1.5-2.5x4-7 em., euneately sub- 
petioled for about 5 mm. Spikes more or less clustered, about 4-jointed: 
short (10 mm.), with short 2-flowered joints when pistillate, and longer 
(30 mm.), with long 10- to 20-flowered joints when staminate: peduncle 
nearly suppressed : scales and deep receptacular cups ciliate. Fruit pale
