Description of the species. A well grown plant attains a 

 height of 3-4 feet with copious lateral branches. The root is 

 disc-shaped, flat and comparatively small, hardly 1.5 cm. in 

 diameter. Often two or more shoots are found starting from a 

 common disc. The stem is short and cylindrical, 1-2 cm. in 

 length, and a few mm. in diameter. It soon gives rise to several 

 fastigiate branches which are practically the principal members 

 of the frond. The stems of these branches are cylindrical or 

 terete, gradually compressed above and loosely twisted, pinnately 

 ramose. The basal leaves on the old branches are complanated, 

 thin and coreaceous, decompoundly alternately divided. Each 

 segment is linear-lanceolate, entire, with ^an obscure rib running 

 nearly the whole length, and without cryptostomata. The upper
