name only. 
More or less pseudodichotomous, the rather long branches with eata- 
phyls on all joints, androgynous?. Internodes moderate (2-3x60-80 mm.), 
granular, subterete. Cataphyls usually a nearly basal pair followed by a 
second pair some 25 mm. higher on the lowest joint, solitary and 15-20 
mm. above the base on the others, deltoid, keeled and pointed. Leaves 
lanceolate to elliptical, mucronately obtuse to long-acuminate, 3-6.5x6-9 
or 10 em., wing-petioled for some 5-10 mm., 5-nerved, drying thin and 
orange. Spikes mostly solitary, long (50 mm. or more), with some 4 
oblong joints about 40-flowered in 6 series: pedunele about 5 mm. long.

More or less pseudodichotomous, the rather long branches with cata-
