(144) S. polyblephariii, Wafh., Mons., I, 127. 



Shoots erect, 4 — 6 cm. long, the stem slender, when dry yellowish 

 and V2 mm. thick; branches 1 — 4 cm. long, pinnate, or the lower 2-pinnate. 

 Leaves of the lower plane erecto-patent; of the stem elliptical, under 1 

 mm. long, hardly oblique, obtuse, rounded at the base, not imbricate 

 over the stem, copiously ciliate on the upper side towards the base; 

 leaves of the upper plane ascending, somewhat smaller; of the stem 

 ovate, nearly keeled, acute, ciliolate; leaves of the branchlets similar to 

 those of the stem, hardly smaller, more close. Spikes slender, relatively 

 long, to 1 cm. long, 1 mm. broad; sporophylla of the upper plane many, 

 obliquely ascending, lanceolate, % mm. long, subacute, ciliolate, rounded 

 at the base, not close; of the lower plane pale, hardly more ascending, 

 ovate, keeled, subcuspidate, long-ciliate ; macrospores smooth or slightly

 with 3 — 5 alternate pinnulae; pinnulae simple or forked; branchlets I'A 

 mm. broad including the lateral leaves. Leaves heteromorphous ; lateral
