Majuseula pallida prostrata. Caules fere bipollicares flexuosi pinnulati. 
Folia subimbricata late patula decurvula infra medium complicato-biloba, 
plica fere transversa, recta vel subconcava; lobus oblongo-rotundus, 
basi antica semicordata caulem velans; lobulus plus duplo brevior 
semiellipticus—fere semicircularis—cucullato-concayus, apice in lobi 
marginem sensim transiens; cellulz mediocres omnes fere conformes 
uilaterz pellucide fere vacuze, pariete incrassato. 
Foliola dissita, foliis fere zequilata, duplo tamen breviora, cuneato-reni-

gerentia. 
Flores dioici: in ramo brevi, foliis sub 3-jugis vestito, terminales, 
innovatione brevi simplice—raro prolifera—suffulti. Bractez foliis 
paulo minores erecto-patulze oblique ovales apice eucullato obtuse, 
basi cum lobulo parvo oblongo complicate; bracteola cuneata trun-
