Monoicous, loosely csespitose or creeping, flagelliferous, small, 

 pale green, pellucid, fragile. Stems subramose, subcompressed, 

 cortical cells about 8, interior moderately large, almost empty; 

 radiculose, rootlets plentiful, long, white. Leaves lower and 

 upper distinctly smaller, middle larger, subimbricate or aj^proxi- 

 mate, almost horizontal, insertion sublongitudinal, antical, very 

 decurrent, obliquely suborbiculate, from J to the middle bifid, 

 sinus obtuse or lunate, segments triangular-acuminate, connivent ; 

 cells moderately large, quadrate-hexagonal or oblong-quadrate, 

 almost empty, walls thick, no trigones or thickened angles. 

 Stipules none. Bracts 3 pairs, the innermost almost twice as 

 long as the leaves, oval or broadly ovate or irregular in outline, 

 deeply 3-5-fid (normally twice bifid), segments lanceolate- 

 subulate, acuminate, margin entire or sub-spinulose ; bracteoles 

 almost free, deeply bifid, exterior margin 1, 2 teeth. Perianth 

 projecting, pyriform-fusiform, terete, towards the apex obtusely 

 trigonous, cells elongate, composed of a single layer, about 60 

 roundish cells near the middle, these giving the inner and the
