Shoots creeping, 30 cm. or more long, the branching between pinnate 

 and dichotomous, the stem stramineous, compressed, flexuose, when dry 

 copiously sulcate above, 1V 2 mm. thick, 10 mm. broad including the 

 lateral leaves; pinnae remote, sparingly 1 2-pinnate or subdichotomous ; 

 ultimate branchlets 5 mm. broad. Leaves heteromorphous ; lateral leaves 

 dark-green above, paler and subolivaceous beneath; of the stem rather 

 remote, subhorizontal, very unequal-sided, obliquely falcate-oblong, sub- 

 acuminate, very minutely serrulate towards the apex, the upper side 

 entire or subentire at the middle, minutely serrulate and rather pellucid- 

 margined towards the broadly rounded base, the lower side entire in the 

 lower 3 /4, provided with 2 6 minute teeth at the narrowly rotundate- 

 truncate base, the largest leaves 5 mm. long by 2 mm. broad; of the 

 ultimate branchlets similar, close or approximate, more narrowed at the 

 base which is rotundate-cuneate on the upper side, to 2 mm. long by l /i 

 mm. broad; intermedial leaves dark-green, erect; of the stem obliquely 

 ovate-oblong, nearly straight, aristate, keeled, minutely serrulate, narrowly 

 pellucid-margined, the outer base produced, distinctly auriculate-cordate, 

 the inner base shortly rotundate-cordate, the largest leaves 8 mm. long, 

 the cusp V as long as the blade: of the branches growing gradually 

 smaller; of the branchlets rotundate-cuneate on the inner side at the 

 base. Spikes quadrangular, solitary, rarely double, 3 6 mm. long, 1 Vs mm. 

 diam.; sporophylla ovate, shortly aristate-acuminate, minutely serrulate, 

 keeled, pellucid-margined, to 2 mm. long; macrospores white or yellowish-

Shoots creeping, 15 cm. or more long, probably dichotomous in the 

 lower part, otherwise pinnate, the stem somewhat compressed, stramineous, 

 grooved when dry, 1 mm. thick, 7 mm. broad including the lateral leaves ; 

 pinnae remote, spreading, to 3 cm. long, sparingly pinnate or dichotomous; 

 ultimate branchlets to 4 mm. broad. Leaves heteromorphous; lateral 

 leaves subhorizontal or spreading; of the main rachis approximate, obliquely 

 falcate-ovate or falcate-oblong, unequal-sided, bluntish, acute or shortly 

 acuminate, black-green above, pale-olivaceous-green beneath, very minutely 

 serrulate towards the apex, the upper side whether or not entire at the
