Subgenus DENDRYMENIA (Skottsb.) comb. nov. 

 Section 5. Dendrymeniae nom. nov. 



In consequence of the results of the investigations into Rhodymenia 

 flabellifolia (Bory) Mont, and Dendrymenia flabellifolia (Bory) 

 Skottsb., which are discussed and illustrated under R. flabellifolia and R. 

 Skottsbergii, it has seemed best to regard Dendrymenia of Skottsberg as 

 a subgenus of Rhodymenia. This subgenus and section embrace those 

 species which show typically a multiple-branched stipe-system in addi- 

 tion to the stoloniferous branching of the bases and lower stipes. Other- 

 wise the morphology corresponds roughly to either Sec. Palmettae or Sec. 

 Clinophora.
