 bright-green at the summit, 1-2 cm. high. Leaves shortly ovate- 

 lanceolate, acute or subobtuse, indistinctly papillose, densely disposed, 

 when dry appressed, borders reflexed nearly all around ; cells small, 

 round-quadrate ; costa broad, reddish and percurrent. Barren.

(943.) B. decursivula, Kindb. (n. sp.) 



Tufts rusty-red with green tops, about 2 cm. high. Stem radiculose

 dry loosely appressed, open when moist, very broad at the base, 

 subovate or ovate-oblong, acute or subobtuse, neai-ly smooth or faintly 

 papillose at back, loosely disposed, long-decurrent ; borders reflexed 

 nearly all around ; cells pellucid, subquadrate, only the alar elongate ;
