In Lond. Journ, Bot. (1851). 
Hab. Pichincha et Tunguragua, alt. 2500-8000", utrinde supra Lejeuneam 
laxifoliam Tayl. repens. 
F 6x4; lob -3; ¢ 3—sy; f'* 85x 35; br “65; br’ 55x 3; per 85x °4, 
rostellum *15™™, 
Pusilla viridis. Caules }-pollicares parce vage ramosi. 
Folia paulo imbricata subplana horizontalia oblique ovata rotundata, 
raro obtusa subacutave, repandula, integerrima, medio infero subsinu- 
ato-complicata; lobulus=4$ folium anguste ovato-fusiformis valde 
involutus, apice occulto; cellule mediocres pellucide leptodermes, 
chlorophyllo parco annulari. 
Foliola subcontigua foliis vix duplo minora, subrotunda, ad } bifida, 
sinu segmentisque obtusis, raro acutis, plana. 
Flores monoici: @ terminales, innovatione (seepe prolifera) suffulti. 
Bracteze foliis parum longiores oblique ovatze obtuse profunde 
complicato-bifidee, lobulo parvo obliquo ligulato rotundato; bracteola 
obovato-oblonga ad $ bifida, sinu segmentisque acutis. 
Perianthia emersa pellucida obovata inflata, ecarinata, ex apice depresso 
rostellum turbinatum apice minute perforatum proferens. Capsula 
subglobosa. 
Andreecia ramulis folio caulino sublongioribus constantia; bracteze 3—4- 
Jugee. 
Obs. The cells of the rostellum are ranged vertically, and are trans- 
versely oblong, becoming wider where the globose head of the turbinate 
rostellum is widest, so that the lines formed by their lateral juncture 
resemble meridians of longitude. The whole apparatus is a miniature 
copy of the horn, or “lantern” of Fulgora lanternaria, and becomes 
eyathiform only when ruptured by the emission of the capsule.
