_ Var. polyphylla (L. polyphylla Tayl.! Lond. Journ, Bot., 1846, p. 390; 
Syn. Hep. 751). “On coffee-trees at Parad. J. L. R.” in hb. Hook.). 
Certe ad eandem speciem pertinet; differt solum statura elatiore; ramis 
longioribus; foliis confertissimis, lobuli crenulis magis numerosis (5-8, 
nec 3v. 4 solum) interdum tamen obsoletis; foliolis prelate reniformi- 
bus. Hane formam ipse legi ad Caripi prope Para; et in monte 
Cauapuna fl, Negro subvarietatem atro-purpuream stellato-ramosam, 
ramis pinnatis, pinnis brevibus, facie fere Firullanie gibbose. 
Phragmicoma fertilis Nees et Phr. Hasskarliana Gottsche, stirpes Ja- 
venses, floribus 2 acrogenis czterisque cataracteribus plane congeneres 
sunt ; lobulos foliorum tamen habent apiece solum_ bi-denticulatos et 
perianthia 5-carinata. 
Obs. By a different, but almost equally natural arrangement, L. 
torulosa might be grouped along with L. bicolor, of which it has the 
lurid blackish colour, varying here and there to yellowish, or blanched ; 
the crenulate lobules and the pluriplicate perianths. L. bicolor, how- 
ever, differs in the innovant dichotomous stems; the acute or acumi- 
nate leaves; the decurrent and biauriculate folioles; the serrulate 
bracts; and the regularly 10-plicate (not 7—9-plicate) perianths.

Humilis subczespitosa purpurascens, siccando rufo-badia. Caules }-1- 
pollicares vage ramosi sat robusti, basi repentes, dein et rami 
assurgentes. 
Folia confertissima accumbentia, lateraliter recurvo-squarrosa patenti- 
aque (nec imbricantia) late ovato-elliptica obtusa vel seepius rotun- 
data integerrima, infra medium valide sinuato-complicata; lobulus 
plus duplo brevior subrotundus vel late ovalis insigniter saccatus, 
dimidio supero tamen inflexo-appressus integerrimus, plica ultra 
lobuli sinum transeunte; cellule: mediocres, apicales minores, sub- 
basales majores subelongatee, omnes subpellucidee. 
Foliola foliis sublatiora, duplo fere breviora, imbricata reniformia repan- 
dula, apice lato margineque laterali tam recurva ut in situ quadrata 
appareant, medio profunde depresso-foveolata. 
Flores monoici: 9 in ramo brevi longioreve, constanter simplice, ter- 
minales.  Bractez foliis submajores profunde bilobse, lobo antico 
obovato-lanceolato plano, postico subminore late lingulato margine 
late recurvo; bracteola seepe maxima spathulato-orbiculata subplana 
integra. 
Perianthia vix emergentia late obovato-cuneata rotundato-truncata, 
compressula, antice depressa (raro medio 1-carinulata) postice 
alte bicarinata, carinis omnibus compressis scaberulis obscure alatis. 
Andrecia in ramulis terminalia—raro medio caule ramove posita ; 
bractea: sepius paucijugee confertee complicato-bilobs parum ventri- 
cose (minime deorsum saccate), lobo obovato, lobulo duplo breviore 
angustioreqyue rhomboideo triangulari-acuto plano. 
A L. torulosa vecedit lobulis haud crenulatis et perianthiis solum 4-5- 
carinatis. In speciebus orientalibus, Phragmicoma fertili N., Phr. 
Hasskarliana G., ¢. a. Invenimus perianthia solum 4—5-carinata, istaeque 
pecics omnes sine dubio verwe Acro-Lejeunee sunt.
