yellow. In a specimen in the Boston City Museum, the branchlets 

 slightly taper towards their bases, and some of them are several inches 

 long without lateral shoots. It is near the anthophyllum in habit. It 

 also resembles somewhat the DendrophylliaB, but differs in each calicle 

 becoming a distinct branch, and in only the tips of each branch being 

 alive.

Though resembling the preceding, the branchlets or calicles are 

 very much more attenuate below, and the clump, as figured by Ellis, 

 looks like a cluster of slender horns, branching from one another.
