Caulis procumbens, rigidus, nigro-fuscus, nudus. Rami erecti, 
flexuosi, rigidi, attenuati, dichotome divisi, versus apicem pre- 
cipue insigniter incurvati. Folia luride viridia, subnitida, bifa- 
riam imbricata, erecta, subopposita, cauli appressa, rotundata, — 
plana, ad apicem denticulata, superiora sensim minora, atque 
magis ovata, Calyx lateralis, ex inferna parte caulis, oblon- 
gus, carnosus, minute tuberculatus, basi attenuatus, squamo- 
sus, Seta 3-4-pollicaris. Capsula ovata. 
The remarkable falciform branches of this plant and the great 
length of the fruitstalk, together with the insertion of the calyx 
and its texture, will at once distinguish this from every other 
known species. The leaves approach nearest to those of J. asple- 
nioides, as does the general habit of the plant ; but the fructifica-. 
diem, which is very remarkable, bears a greater resemblance to 
that of J. Sphagni.
