Humilis e viridi rufescens plagas latas vix stratificatas sistens. Caules 
prostrati arcte repentes implexique 1-2-pollicares laxe pinnatim 
ramosi. 
Folia plus minus arete imbricata squarroso-patentia, dimidio supero rufo- 
badia, infero pallida, convexula, margine supero tamen recurvulo, 
late cordato-ovata rotundata ; lobulus paulo brevior, ad basin cauli 
contiguus, plica recta vix unquam cauli parallela sed angulo sub 45° 
(in lobulis evolutis majore) devexa, alte galeatus (compresso-para- 
boloideus) ore fere truncato, vel plus minus late cucullatus, vel 
persepe evolutus oblique ovato-triangularis obtusus, basi interna 
nunquam ultra lobi marginem protractus; disculus (s. lobulus 
adventitius) parvus obovatus, ipsissima basi lobulo connatus, a foliolo 
collaterali semper liber; cellule parvule globoso-hexagonz subz- 
quimagne chlorophyllosx, pariete incrassato. 
Foliola imbricata, foliis fere squimagna, oblata, cordato-reniformia 
sinuato-repanda, raro grosse pauci-denticulata, emarginato-bidentata, 
sinu lunulari vel subacuto, dentibus subacutis raro apiculatis, 
margine recurvulo. 
Flores monoici (autoici): @ in ramo brevi longioreve terminales. 
Bractee 3-jugie, raro plures, intime foliis paulo majores suberectz 
complicate subzquilobse, lobo antico rotundato, postico obtuso 
margine recurvo interdum extus lacinia aucto; bracteola angusta 
utrinque alte connata bifida, segmentis semilanceolatis integerrimis 
vel grosse laciniatis. 
Perianthia semiemersa, oblonga vel obovato-oblonga retuso-truncata ros- 
tellata, 4-carinata, carinis rugulosis, lateralibus devexis, facie antica 
latiore unisulca; textura, e cellulis nucleo stellari (seepe intense 
rubro), pariete ecolorato diaphano ad angulos incrassato, pulchre 
tesselata. 
Amenta ¢ axillaria, folio caulino subequilonga, ovato-globosa ; bractez 
5-6-juge majuscule arcte equitantes equilobe diandre, raro 
triandre. 
Var. (?) densissima (Fr. densissima, S. Mst.). Robustior seepe bipinnata, 
pinnis inferioribus superioribusque brevissimis simplicibus, mediis 
longioribus pinnulatis, pinnulis seepe floriferis. Folia arctissime im- 
bricata squarrosa, margine recurvo, latiora quam longa, disculo 
majusculo orbiculato vel reniformi folioli auricule altere tergo (raro 
margine) adnato. Foliola arcte imbricata preelata, margine repando 
recurvo, basi Eons cordata, auriculis lunato-oblongis conniven- 
tibus. Ramuli floriferi brevissimi, basi ¢ apice 9. Bractewe 
3-jugee iis forme prioris similes, lobulis autem subacutis. Bracteze 
2~3-juge femineis sensim minores subequilobe diandre, 
bracteolis lineari-ovalibus bidentalis, hine basi bracteze connatis. 
Perianthia apice in rostellum subsensim attenuata.— Hab, In cortice
