more unequal and acuminate, stipules more frequent 

 chiefly on male plants. Inflorescence dioicous, 

 female always terminal on elongated branches ; 

 lateral bracts more deeply cut, laciniae entire. 

 Perianth larger. (Plate 6, fig. 27.) 



Spruce says that this can hardly be considered 

 more than the dioicous and perfect form of Cepha- 

 lozia bicuspidata. Whether species, subspecies, or 

 variety, it is easy to distinguish from bicuspidata by 

 its much larger size, tufted growth, absence of 

 flagellae, dioicous, inflorescence, and the female 

 flowers terminating long branches. 



Cephalozia connivens, Dicks. 



Stem creeping, branched, leaves accumbent, 

 suborbicular, lunular-emarginate, bifid, laciniae 

 incurved, connivent, perichaetial leaves every- 

 where imbricate, 3-4-fid, stipules none ; 

 perianth terminal on lateral branches, ovate, 

 mouth ciliate.
