acuminatis, margine utrinque 1-2-spina nudave. Folia sepissime 
decurvo-secunda rigidula persistentia, quando autem subexplanata 
inveniuntur tune valde caduca. In M. Campana Andium Peruvi- 
anorum. (F!*-4 x °35™m), 
Var. heterodonta S. A priori quoad folia—nisi rarissime tridentata—vix 
differt ; foliola tamen caulis apicem versus sensim crescunt, superiora 
late cuneato-quadrata longidentata. In M. Guayrapurina Andium 
Peruvianorum. 
Obs, Figura Mastigobryi bidentis, in Spec. Hep. t. xv, folia monstrat 
paulo longiora quam in nostra (typica) sine aliis differentiis. Forma 
longifolia quoque in insula Guadalupa legit. cl. Husnot.
