tilarly branched : leaves irabricated, the lobe convex, widely spread- 

 ing, falcate-ovate, arching across axis but scarcely beyond, rounded 

 and decurved at the apex, entire ; lobule ovate-rectangular, obliquely 

 truncate with obtuse or acute apex, keel slightly arched, free margin 

 almost straight as far as the apex, slightly involute toward the base, 

 entire: underleaves contiguous or subimbricated, orbicular, not cordate 

 but sometimes very slightly decurrent at base, attached by a short 

 curved line of insertion, bifid one sixth to one fifth with obtuse or sub- 

 acute connivent lobes and narrow sinus : leaf-cells thin-walled with 

 small, scarcely evident trigones : ? inflorescence borne on a principal 

 branch, innovating on one side, the innovation repeatedly floriferous ; 

 bracts unequally bifid, the lobe falcate-ovate, rounded at the apex, 

 entire, lobule narrowly ovate, rounded or obtuse at the apex, entire ; 

 bracteole free, oblong, very shortly bifid (about one tenth) with sub- 

 acute lobes and narrow sinus, entire; perianth about a third exserted, 

 obovate, gradually narrowed toward the base, truncate at the apex 

 and with a short beak, slightly compressed on sides, plane or nearly 

 so antically and with a broad, low, two-angled keel postically : 

 5 inflorescence borne on very short or slightly elongated branches, 

 bracts in two to five pairs, imbricated, inflated, subequally bifid ; 

 bracteoles smaller than the ordinary underleaves, wanting except at 

 base of spike.

An interesting feature of Cheilolejeunea stenoschlza is the narrow 

 sinus of the underleaves. This is in fact so pronounced and the 

 lobes are so strongly connivent or even overlapping, that, at first 

 sight, the underleaves appear quite undivided. C. Sandvicensis 

 resembles C. stenoschiza in its thin-walled leaf-cells but is amply 

 distinct in its small and differently shaped lobules. The very com- 

 mon C. intertexta, besides being much smaller, has more deeplj" 

 bifid underleaves and smaller lobules with their free margins 

 strongly revolute. Mr. Cooke's specimens of C. stenoschiza agree 

 closely with the type-material of Angstrom.
