Shoots pendulous, 30100 cm. long, often 34 times dichotomously 

 branched, the stem slender, both stem and branches flattened, 2-lateral 

 (the leaves apparently 2-farious). Leaves lax or approximate, more or 

 less ascending, subpetiolate, suborbicular to broad-oblong, to 9 mm. long, 

 to 7 mm. broad, obtuse at both ends, entire, firm, glossy, with a distinct 

 midrib. Spikes very slender, one or more times dichotomous, the branchlets 

 to 2 mm. diam. ; sporophylla moderately dense, ascending, rather deltoid, 

 very small, not much exceeding the sporangia.

Shoots pendulous, 15 45 cm. long, one or more times dichotomously 

 branched. Leaves lax, ascending, 4-farious, elongate-ovate, 6 16 mm. 

 long, about ' 2 as broad, rather acute, entire, narrowed and adnate at the 

 base, glossy, rigid, with a distinct midrib, the ventral ones larger than 

 the dorsal. Spikes slender, to 10 cm. long, once or twice forked, the 

 branchlets 1 1V 2 mm. diam.; sporophylla broad-ovate, equalling or 

 but little exceeding the sporangia.

 Shoots suberect, soon pendulous, often thrice forked, to 45 cm. long, 



the stem obtusely quadrangular, 4-sulcate. Leaves glossy, coriaceous, 

 4-farious, ascending, subpetiolate, ovate-lanceolate, equal, 1 1V cm. 

 long and 5 mm. broad, narrowed at both ends, obtuse, entire, decurrent, 

 the midrib grooved above, subprominent beneath. Spikes slender, once 

 or twice forked, moniliforai, 4 8 cm. long; sporophylla broadly ovate, 

 shortly acuminate, keeled, equalling the sporangia. Probably a form 

 of the preceding.
