2. Hycro-LEJEUNEA PATELLIFERA, Spruce. 
Hab. In fl. Pastasa ripis infra Banos, supra Frullanias repens alt. 1600. 
F 65 x ‘5, lob ‘3-4; ¢ Je; f'* 25 x--35; br °6; brs 6x ‘25; per ‘9x -4mm, 
Minutiuscula sparsa pallide viridis tenerrima. Caules }-pollicares fragiles 
vage ramosi, ramis brevibus subeequifoliis interdum arcuatis. 
Folia imbricata concava subfornicata, valde oblique ovata late obtusata 
(forma fere cordis humani), celluloso-crenulata subpapulosa, medium 
versus sinuato-complicata; lobulus vix duplo brevior rectangularis 
rhomboideusve subacutus, ad carinam rotundatam valde inflatus 
cornu bovinum simulans, margine autem lobo majori appressus; cel- 
lulz fere majuscule subconformes, subpellucide, chlorophyllo sat 
copioso, pariete ad angulos paulo incrassato. 
Foliola plus duplo breviora subdissita suborbiculata, fere plana, apice 
rotundata retusulave. 
Flores dioici; 2 in caule ramisque terminales, innovatione szepius iterum 
florifera suffulti. Bractez foliis caulinis subminores ad $ bifidee laxe 
complicate, lobo obovato-lanceolato rotundato, lobulo longe breviore 
anguste triangulari obtuso subacutove; bracteola lanceolata vel sub- 
cuneata, angusta, apice rotundata, basi utrinque connata. 
Perianthia subemersa anguste obpyramidata vel subpyriformia vix com- 
pressa alte 5-carinata, carinis sparse celluloso-tuberculosis, ex apice 
retuso brevirostria demum 5-fida. 
H. L. catinulifera 8. certe distat statura multo elatiore, caulibus ceespi- 
tosis validioribus; foliis majoribus vix papulosis, textura paulo densiore, 
lobulo bis implicato ; foliolis majoribus latioribus quam longis insigniter 
cochleatis; floribus ? ssepissime dichotomialibus; bracteis duplo longi- 
oribus; perianthiis obtuse carinatis. 
3. HyGro-LEsEUNEA Sponcta, Spruce. 
Hab. In monte Tunguragua, ad arborum ramulos, pl. 9 sterilis; pl. ¢ 
in eodem monte supra Leioscyphum Liebmannianum repens: alt. 
2400, 
F 1:05 x 85 (cum lobulo); lob 2 (ad plicam mensus); ¢ #5; f* *8x 1:15, 
‘7 X1:1; br. lobus ant. 1°3 x °8—9; br’ 1:2 x -Qmm, 
Elata pallida tenerrima, siccando badia fuscidulave. Caules pollicares 
vel longiores e caudice brevi repente undique radiantes et in molem 
subglobosam diametro bipollicarem congesti, parum ramosi, vel sub- 
dichotomi, vel seepe ramis brevibus—aliis floriferis ( ) aliis sterili- 
bus parvifoliis—pinnulati. 
Folia ad 4 lat. usque imbricata patenti-divergentia, late oblique subsemi- 
cordato-elliptica ovato-ellipticave, apice decurvulo obtusa, rarius sub- 
acuta rotundatave, toto margine e cellulis prominulis crenulata, 
repandula, basi antica caulem excedentia, postica sinuato-complicata; 
lobulus parvus, folio 5-plo brevior, subovatus, convoluto-turgidus; 
sinu excisulus; cellule mediocres conformes cequilaterze leptodermes 
pellucide, utraque facie convexe. 
Foliola foliis eequimagna sed latiora quam longa, imbricata subplana, 
reniformia vel potius late obtuseque emarginata, angulis rotundatis, 
basi vel subcordata vel undulato-truncata, nec decurrentia, margine 
repanda crenulataque—quasi moniliata, e cellulis marginalibus 
cwteris multo minoribus in conum obtusum promiaulis.
