CoLo-LEJEUNEA. 295 
dentes pellucidi, 3 cellulas diametro, simplices vel ramum unum 
alterumve edentes—rarissime longiores et subpinnati. 
Folia dissita vel subimbricata, basi brevi subtransversa distiche inserta, 
varie patula, flaccida et undulata, subrotunda concava repanda papu- 
losa, margine postico planiuscula vel plus minus late incurva, lobulo 
nullo; cellule parvule equilatero-hexagonz leptodermes convexule, 
tota facie verruculose (quasi punctulate) opace, demum pellu- 
centes. 
Foliola nulla. E cujusque folii basi profertur radicella una alterave 
prelonga—raro plures fasciculatze. 
Flores dioici: @ haud visi; andrcecia magna ovato-fusiformia, caulis 
dimidium superiorem tenentia; bracteze plurijugee, arctiuscule imbri- 
catee, inferiores foliis imo majores, superiores sensim minores, tur- 
gidee, margine postico toto late involuto antheridium solitarium 
maximum foventes. 
Forsan pro forma L. turbinifere juvenili, mere mascula, habenda; 
florescentia attamen dioica cum eadem conjungere vetat.
