Pallide viridis flavidave flaccidissima substratificata; caules 4—9-poll. 
longi tenues subsimplices, raro subpinnatim ramosi, ramis dissitis 
inzequilongis, aliis brevissimis floriferis, Q vel ¢. 
Folia dissita v. vix imbricata, tenuia, erecto-patula, convolutiva, basi longe 
decurrentia oblique semicordato-ovata, subabrupte acuminulata acuta 
integerrima v. apice angulata raro subdenticulata, basin versus sinuato- 
complicata; lobulus lobo 3-plo brevior, v. minutus, raro obsoletus, 
ovato-rhombeus inflatus, apice acuto inflexo raro explanato; cellule 
mediocres parvulve, leptodermes zequilaterze pellucide, fere planis- 
simee, inferiores sensim majores. 
Foliola subimbricata foliis sat breviora seepe autem latiora cordato-ovata 
ad y. paulo ultra } bifida, segmentis acutis acuminulatisve parallelis 
v. forficatis, auriculis baseos majusculis subimbricatis v. recurvis, 
lateribus insigniter incurvis. 
Flores dioici: 9 cauligeni ramigenique minuti, f. caulino breviores, inno- 
vatione nulla suffulti; bracteze bijugee, exteriores minute, interiores 
foliis plus duplo minores, vix ad 4 usque bilobee, lobis ovali-lanceo- 
latis acutis serratis, inferiore subangustiore; bracteola cuneato-lan- 
ceolata, fere ad 4 bifida, segmentis subacuminatis, serrulata, hinc cum 
bractea basi connata. 
Perianthia f. caulinis subduplo breviora, obconico-pyriformia, inflata 
levissima, apice rotundato-depresso obscurissime 4—5-umbonulato, 
ore minuto, rostello nullo. Calyptra vix brevior tenuis, apice irregu- 
lariter rupta. Capsula globosa. 
Amenta ¢ in planta propria robustiore (!) cauligena, f. caulinis sub- 
longiora decurva albida; bracteze 6-10-jugee parvee subconfertee valde 
concave bilobze, lobis subeequalibus ovatis obtusis. Bracteole ovales 
apice bifidee. 
The 9 flowers are terminal on very short ramuli, which never 
innovate, and have only oue pair of minute leaves (or bracts) below 
the involucre proper. These ramuli are often pretty copiously
