296 CoLo-LEJEUNEA. 
Obs. In the fold of the leaves I find sometimes as many as ten globular 
pale reddish bodies (eggs?), with a perfectly smooth thin coat or shell, 
containing only mucus.

postico obtuse complicata; lobulus (potius plica) czetero folio duplo 
et ultra angustior, lanceolatus, seepe iterum implicatus; cellule 
minutule equilateree vel parum elongate, subplane, leptodermes, 
opace, chlorophyllo sat copioso cellule centrum versus coacervato. 
Foliola 0. Radicellee pallidee ineequilongze, paucee ad cujusque folii basin

Flores monoici: @ in ramulo brevi parvifolio, innovando seepeque iterum 
florifero, terminales. Bractez foliis caulinis equilonge sed angus- 
tiores, ovales, paulo infra apicem dente extante (lobulum sistente) 
auctee, vel non; altera seepe minor; bracteola 0. 
Perianthia parum emergentia pyriformia vel subfusiformia, brevissime 
rostellata, tota longitudine alte 5-carinata. 
Andreecia floribus 9 longe numerosiora, ramulo brevi constantia; bracteze 
3-8-jugee cymbiformes, apice rotundato brevissime bilobe. 
A Colo-L. turbinifera 8. differt caule elongato crebre pinnulato; foliis 
et preecipue bracteis angustioribus; perianthiis plus duplo longioribus 
quam latis—pyriformibus, nec turbinatis; demum cellulis dimidio minori- 
bus subplanis. 
Obs. There is no proper lobule, but the postical margin of the leaf is 
widely folded in, the fold being widest in the middle, and running to a 
point at each extremity, so as to be somewhat lanceolate. Sometimes 
the fold itself is again enfolded, along its middle, so that the leaves may be 
called “bis complicata.”
