Olivacea, fusco-viridis. Caulk pollicaris, bipollicarisve. Folia imbricata, oblonga-ovata, acuta, apicibus decur- 

 vis, lobulo parvo integerrimo e cellulis laxiusculis areolata. AmpMgastria orbiculari-obovata, integerrima. " Involu- 

 crum pallidum, inter periantliii basin et primum par foliorum caulinum omnino latens, dimidiam perianthii altitudi- 

 nem non attinget ; folia involucralia acuta, lobulis acuminatis." — Tayl. 



Very closely resembling L. Stephensoniana and L. bicolor, Mont. {Phragmicoma bicolor, Nees], a common 

 South American species; it also resembles L. anguiformis, but this last is a smaller plant, with more julaceous 

 branches. The fruit has not been observed on Dr. Sinclair's specmens, which alone have been examined.— Plate 

 CII. Fig. 4 :— 1, a plant, natural size; 2, a portion of the stem with leaves and stipule, magnified.

 ovatis integerrimis anice acuto obtusove totoque margine ventrali incurvo lobulo transverse elongato apice 

 rotundato integerrimo, amphigastriis suborbiculatis integerrimis, perianthio obovato compresso superne late- 

 ribus denticulatis dorso tri- ventre quadri-plicato, foliis involucralibus latioribus lobulis acutis, aniphigastno 

 obovato integerrimo.— Spisananthus anguiformis, Hook. fil. et Tayl. Lond. Joum. Sot. 1844, p. 567. G.

 lobulo angusto truncate a basi ad medium marginis ventralis protracto. Ampliigastria latiora quam longa. Perian- 

 thium obovatum, apiculatum, marginibus denticulatis plicis variis, ssepius superne dorso plicis tribus obtusiusculis, 

 ventre carinis parvis duabus intermedioque vel rotundato obtuso vel etiam leviter bicarinato. 



Intermediate in size between L. corticalis, L. et L. [Phragmicoma], and L. bicolor, Mont. [Phragmieoma], both 

 South American species; it is, however, readily distinguished from its near allies by the form of its lobule, and the 

 denticulation of its perianth.-PLATE CII. Fig. 5 :-l, stems, natural size; 2, a portion of the same With leaves and 

 stipules; 3, a perianth, with involucral leaves, as seen on the ventral side; 4, a transverse section of the upper part 

 of the perianth : — all magnified.

 tibus oblongis obtusiusculis apice recurvis, lobulis anguste ovatis acutis involutis, amphigastriis rotnndatis 

 integerrimis, perianthio terminal! immerso obcordato tetragono angulis alatis dentatis tubo mmuto coro- 

 nato.— G. L. el N. Syn. Hep. p. 748. Phragmicoma plicatiscypha, Hoot fil. et Tayl. in Lond. Joum. Bot.

 amphigastriis minoribus rotundatis integerrimis, perianthio laterali obovato sursum 8-10-pHcato tubifero.—
