BAZZANIA. 375 
ovato-fusiformia, trigona (demum, fructu repleta, fere teretia) apice 
constricto 6-fida vix ciliolata. 
B. Brasiliensis, huic affinis, differt foliis subminoribus persistentibus ; 
basi sat angustioribus nec decurrentibus, apice magis profunde _fissis; 
foliolis minoribus patelis validioribus apice magis distincte crenatis ; 
bracteis plurifidis, laciniis ciliolatis.

Robusta, viridissima, prostrata stratificata; caules 2-3-pollicares pluries 
(divaricato-) dichotomi flagelliferi. 
Folia imbricata (basi ad 4 lat.) parum decurva, falcata, subdivergentia, 
longe et oblique ovato-lgulata, apice oblique trunecato argute 3-(4-) 
dentata, dentibus triangularibus peracutis subapiculatisve, medio 
szepe submajore, basi antic& profunde semicordata caulem transeuntia, 
postica perpaulo rotundato-dilatata integerrima (haud crispula), 
czetero margine repandula. Cellule mediz lateralibus plus duplo 
mnajores Vix vittam formantes. 
Foliola triplo fere minora, rotundo-quadrata, apice truncato irregulariter 
3—4-crenata-denticulatave, margine subintegerrima, basi obscure 
cordata, v. semicordata, hine in auriculam parvam rotundam pro- 
ducta, illinc solum breviter decurrentia. 
Fl. dioici: amenta ¢ sola habui. 
B. Brasilensis, affinis, habet folia dimidio minora, basi angustiora (nec 
semicordata), flavida, pellucida, cellulis lateralibus majoribus ; foliola 
multo minora, longiora quanv lata, basi minime subcordata; habitus 
quoque valde diversus est. 
9. BAzZANIA TERETIUSCULA (Lindenb. et G.). 
Mastigobrywm teretiusculum L. et G. Spec. Hep. no. 49, t. 20. 
Hab. In M. Tunguragua, ad arborum truncos (R. 8.); Mexico (Lirs- 
MANN). 
F15x-75; ¢ Aa; f 65x 55mm, 
Mediocris, dense stratificata, fulva, apice virescens. Caules 3—4-pollicares 
tenuiusculi anguste dichotomi (angulo 20°-40°); rami apice spe 
hamati, siccando e foliis devolutis teretiusculi ; flagella erebra. 
Folia subimbricata decurvo-subsecunda—in sicco devoluta—subfaleata, 
semicordato-ovato-lanceolata, sublinguzeformia, apice oblique trun- 
cato breviter 2—3-dentata, dente postico seepius minore infraiipicali, 
raro apice lanceolata (i.e. solum unidentata), subcanaliculata, repan- 
dula, basi antica caulem obtegentia, medio evittata ; cellule pachy- 
dermes pellucide convexule, mediz sensim majores nec in fal- 
sinervum disposite. 
Foliola subcontigua, 5 folio subminora, quadrato-oblonga, apice truncato 
sub 4-crenata, basi excisa, margine repandula. 
Obs. Stirps Mexicana subminor est, foliorum dentibus magis acutis, vix 
autem specifice diversa. 
B. tridens (Nees ; L. et G. Spec. Hep. t. 14) Javanica, certe diversa est 
foliis planioribus angustioribus et foliolis minutis.
