  Dioicous, 
  the 
  male 
  plants 
  about 
  like 
  the

  habit, 
  with 
  

   numerous 
  antherieial 
  buds 
  on 
  very 
  short

  branches

   one 
  half 
  as 
  long, 
  ovate, 
  acute, 
  costate, 
  serrulate, 
  enclosing 
  about 
  

   four 
  antheridia 
  without 
  paraphyses: 
  in 
  compact, 
  green 
  mats 
  

   with 
  conspicuous, 
  white 
  leaf-bases 
  and

  stem-leaves 
  up 
  to 
  3 
  mm. 
  long, 
  crispate 
  when 
  dry, 
  from 
  a 
  

   somewhat 
  oblanceolate 
  or 
  oblong 
  base, 
  ciliate 
  to 
  nearly 
  entire 
  on 
  

   border, 
  gradually 
  narrowed

  a 
  nearly 
  linear 
  or 
  linear-lanceolate 
  

   point 
  about 
  one

  one 
  half 
  times

  with 
  acute, 
  slightly 
  

   serrulate 
  apex 
  and 
  pale 
  yellow 
  border 
  entire 
  below 
  the 
  apex, 
  costa 
  

   nearly 
  percurrent, 
  smooth 
  on 
  both 
  sides 
  except 
  at 
  the 
  dentate 
  or 
  

   spiny-dentate 
  apex, 
  about 
  25 
  /x 
  wide 
  and 
  one

  width 
  of 
  leaf 
  

   one 
  half 
  down, 
  in 
  cross-section 
  near 
  rniddle 
  showing 
  about 
  four 
  

   guide-cells 
  with 
  stereid 
  bands 
  above 
  and 
  below 
  and 
  outer 
  cells 
  not 
  

   differentiated; 
  cells 
  throughout 
  upper 
  part 
  of 
  leaf 
  rather 
  distinct, 
  

   somewhat 
  angular, 
  not

  6

  rather 
  densely 
  papillate 
  and 
  mamillate

  both 
  sides 
  of 
  

   upper 
  leaf, 
  becoming 
  more 
  distinctly 
  mamillate 
  on 
  upper 
  surface 
  

   just 
  above 
  the 
  cancellinae; 
  cancellinae 
  nearly 
  filling 
  the 
  erect 
  

   leaf-base, 
  mostly 
  rounded 
  above; 
  perichaetial 
  leaves 
  much 
  like 
  

   stem-leaves 
  but 
  inner 
  with 
  shorter, 
  green 
  point; 
  pedicel 
  6-7
