Pusilla pallida tenerrima; caules 3-pollicares prostrati, hic radicellis 
fasciculatis, illic flagellis albidis, matrici adfixi, divaricato-subramosi, 
ramis posticis. 
Folia subimbricata late patula subplana, pellucida, ovato-oblonga-lance- 
olatave obtusata, raro retusula apiceve 2-3-crenata ; cellule majus- 
cule elongate subrectangulares, limitibus validis non autem incras- 
satis, intus annulo endochromii perangusto cincte, subplane. 
Foliola foliis fere duplo breviora subulata lineariave 4-5 c. longa, 1-3 ¢. 
lata, interdum bifida, haud raro amorpha obsoletave; superiora 
tamen increscentia sic uti in floris @ vicinia foliis solum paulo 
minora evadunt. 
Fl. dioici: Q in caule ramove elongato terminales, innovatione nulla 
suffulti; bracteze sub 3-jugee, exteriores in folia caulina normalia 
sensim transeuntes, intimz foliis 2plo longiores quadrato-oblonge

pedicello longo alte exserta. Capsula calyptra vix brevior, oblonga vel 
oblongo-globosa, vix longior quam lata, ad basin usque 4-valvis. 
Amenta pl. ¢ caulis ramive apicem tenentia; bracteee plurijuge, foliis
