 points, even when not in a ftate of fruftification. The breadth of 

 the branches varies from a line to half an inch. The colour is 

 fometimes of a fine bright red — moft commonly of a dark red 

 brown. The plant varies in height from two to five inches. 



In our var. ,3 the branches it is true are very numerous, but not 

 more fo (notwithftanding Mr. Lightfoot afferts otherwife) than in 

 var. a. The whole frcnd is about four inches high ; the branches 

 are all nearly of an equal breadth, from \ a line to ~ of an inch. 

 The dilatation of the frond takes place in this alfo; but from the 

 extreme narrownefs of the branches} it is difcernible only by atten- 

 tive obfervation.
