et involucrum @ e caule prostrato abrupte erectum, basi valde radicel- 
losum, J. heterwcrie sat similis; perianthium verum tamen abest, ejus 
loco invenimus bracteas 2 magnas erectas, alte inter se connatas et cum 
bracteola interna tenerrima dimidio inferiore adnatas. 
J. heteracria forsan prope J. J. Kunzei et Hornschuchii collocanda; foliis 
autem nunc integris nunc apice bifidis &c., et perianthio ore ciliato plus 
minus hiante ab omnibus distat. 
6. JUNGERMANIA SUBINFLATA, Spruce. 
Hab. Andes Quitenses, in rupibus aggeribusque montium Tunguragua, 
Guayrapata, &c., alt. 2400-3000". 
F 6x °6,°8x°8; c 2; per 16 x*65™™, 
Ceespites lati densi e flavo virides, apice rufescentes. Caules 1-15™ alti, 
basi brevi prostrata subnuda flagella aphylla radicellifera deterentes, 
dein erecti flexuosi simplices vel bi-trifidi. 
Folia subimbricata, infima minuta, superiora sensim majora, lateraliter 
patentia, caulium fertilium erectiora accumbentia, magis increscentia, 
ovato-rotunda complicato-concava, basi antica breviter decurrentia, 
postica semicordata, apice ad 4 usque bifida, laciniis subeequalibus 
vel antica minore—acutis subobtusisve, conniventibus, sinu triangu- 
lari obtuso ; cellule parvule equilater, ad angulos subincrassate, 
marginales subquadrate. Foliola nulla. 
Flores dioici; 9 terminales, sine innovatione ; bractez 1-jugze, foliis sub- 
majores, appressie, ceeterum conformes, vel altera trifida ; bracteola 
(raro deficiens) bracteis 2-3plo minor, raro zquilonga, ovata ovalisve 
obtusata, plerumque cum altera bractea altiuscule connata. 
Perianthia emersa oblonga, plus duplo longiora quam lata, inferne turgida 
levia, superne obtuse sub 5-plicata, ore coustricto subdenticulata. 
Capsula oblonga. 
Andreecia medio caule posita; bractez plurijuge, foliis caulinis continue 
paulo minores, confertiuscule. 
J. conformis L. et G. (Syn. Hep. 665, G. in Mex. Leverm. 81) certe 
differt caule elatiore magis ramoso ; foliis ad 4 bifidis, segmentis ovato- 
lanceolatis apiculatis. J. adulterina G. in Hep. Novogranat. 23, caule 
sub perianthio semper innovato, foliis ultra 4 bifidis, &c. magis distare 
videtur. J. inflata, Huds., Europea, nostram habitu sat refert, caractere 
longe diversa.

6™™ Jongi, tenues, basi breviter prostrati subramosi radicelliferi sed 
fere aphylli, dein assurgentes foliosi et fere arhizi, simplices vel 
ramum unum alterumve e facie postica proferentes, interdum furcati. 
Folia distiche patula plana oblique inserta alterna, caulium sterilium 
subdissita equimagna, fertilium contigua vel subimbricata, superiora
