SPHAGNUM MENDOCINUM, SidUv. d Lesqx. 



Tab. 3. 



Plants proceriores, in caispitibus laxis fluitantibus, superne 

 aureo-rufescentibiis, inferne pallide fulvellis degentes. 



Caulis 7-10-uncialis, firmus, badius, strato corticali simplici 

 duplicive, ligneo rufulo. 



Folia caulina oblongo-ovata, ad apicem solum fibrosum et 

 porosum marginata. Ramiili 4-5 fasciculati, longi, flexiles, 

 attenuati, 2-3 arcuato - decurvi, 1-2 deflexi, caulem baud 

 obvelantes. Folia ramiilina laxe incumbentia, stricta ; media 

 elliptico-lanceolata, acuminata, concava, late marginata, apice 

 breviter tubuloso-dentata, sicca rigidula, marginibus baud un- 

 dulata ; cellulse hyalinai elongato-flexuosae, crebre fibrosse, poris 

 numerosissimis minutis ad utramque marginem seriatim positis 

 pertusae ; cellulae intermedia^ virides, compresso-trigonae, extus 

 liberae, intus hyalinis marginibus obtectse. Csetera desunt. 



Stirps pulcberrima, ad S. cuspidati formas fluitantes facie et 

 aliis notis accedens, sed cellulis foliorum ramulinorum hyalinis 

 valde porosis, strato corticali etc. distinctissima.
