Prostrata, ex olivaceo virescens. Caules pollicares, laxe pinnatim ramosi. 
Folia vel dissita vel subcontigua, raro subimbricata, patentia, late oblique 
semicordato-ovata obtusa vel seepius rotundata, cochleato-concava, 
Margine postico tamen supra lobulum apiceque ad conche orificii 
instar recurvula, basi sinuato-complicata; lobulus vix 3-plo brevior 
inflatus subrotundus sed tam convolutus ut late ovoideus videatur, 
apice acuto incurvo; cellule parve subconformes, subplanee, lepto- 
dermes ad angulos vix subincrassate, pellucide, ambitu tenuiter 
opace. 
Foliola foliis triplo fere minora patula suborbiculata concava, fere ad 
medium usque acute bitida, segmentis obtusis raro acutis. 
Flores monoici et dioici: 2 terminales; ramus fertilis v. brevissimus, 
foliis 0-3-jugis infra florem stipatus, v. raro elongatus polyphyllus; 
in plurimis exemplis innovatione simplice, in paucis prolifera, auctus. 
Bractez foliis subzquales, ultra medium bilobz, lobo ovali obtuso, 
lobulo minore diagonali triangulari-lingueformi; bracteola oblonga 
v. obovato-lanceolata, vix ad + acute bifida, segmentis acutis. 
Perianthia pyriformi-obovata, brevissime rostellata, alte argute 5-carinata, 
pellucida, demum szepe basi elongata. Calyptra pyriformis tenuis. 
Capsula ovali-globosa in pedicello longiusculo geniculato-articulato 
exserta. 
Amenta ¢ prope caulis basin posita, ramulo tenuiusculo f. caulina sub- 
duplo superante constantia; bracteze 3-6-jugze mediocres. 
L. patens Lindberg (Hep. in Hibernia lect.), paulo major est, pallida, seepe 
albicans; foliis supra lobulum insigniter divergentibus, totis concavis, 
margine postico apiceque haud recurvis, cellulis subprominulis; peri- 
anthiis que magis obpyramidatis quam obovatis, mihi diversa videtur.

Folia subimbricata patula, decurvo-concava, late semicordato-ovata ab-
