 Shoots decumbent, caespitose, repeatedly dichotomous, the primary 



and secondary rachises 3 mm., the ultimate branchlets 2 l h mm. broad 

 including the lateral leaves. Leaves crowded everywhere; leaves of the 

 lower plane unequal-sided, broadest on the upper side, ovate-oblong, pale- 

 green, shortly acuminate, sparingly minutely denticulate on the upper 

 side, sparingly and indistinctly so on the lower side towards the apex, 

 pale-margined on both sides, rounded on both sides at the base, the 

 largest leaves 2 mm. long, 1 mm. broad; leaves of the upper plane 

 unequal-sided, obliquely broadly rounded at the base, shortly mucronate- 

 acuminate, both sides sparingly and very minutely denticulate and 

 narrowly pale-margined, the largest leaves IV* mm. long, 3 A mm. broad. 

 Spikes suberect, flexuose, 2 2V* cm. long, 2 2V* mm. broad; sporophylla 

 of the upper plane spreading, very unequal-sided, lanceolate-ovate, acute, 

 sparingly and shortly denticulate, keeled ; of the lower plane more ascending, 

 equal-sided, ovate, acuminate, ciliolate-denticulate on both sides, keeled, 

 nearly as large as the dorsal ones, to 2 mm. long, 1V mm. broad; macrospores 

 white or yellowish, finely rugulose on the basal side; microspores orange- 

 coloured, very minutely verruculose-rugulose, apparently smooth.

Shoots wide-trailing, remotely branched, the branches erecto-patent; 

 branchlets few, short, 1 mm. broad including the lateral leaves. Lateral 

 leaves firm, clasping, ovate; of the principal rachises laxly disposed, spreading 

 or horizontal, very unequal-sided, to 2 mm. long, bluntish or subacute, the 

 upper surface copiously deciduously short-hairy, the upper side very minutely 

 denticulate towards the apex, gradually ciliate towards the broadly rounded 

 base, the lower side subentire or very minutely denticulate; of the ultimate 

 branchlets imbricating, ascending, nearly 1 mm. long, nearly equal-sided 

 and broadly rotundate-cuneate at the base; intermedia! leaves smaller, 

 erect, unequal-sided, ovate, cuspidate, obliquely broadly rotundate-cuneate 

 at the base; of the principal rachises sparingly ciliate on both sides, or 

 minutely denticulate on the outer side; of the branchlets minutely den- 

 ticulate. Spikes numerous, 5 7V* mm. long, 1 3 A mm. broad, often forked; 

 sporophylla of the- upper plane linear-lanceolate, ciliolate-denticulate; of 

 the lower plane subulate-ovate, long-acuminate, sparingly ciliate, keeled.
