two secondary cells well overlapping, primary cortical rows being 
adjacent, or separated by one, two, or three secondary cortical cells ; 
spine-cells rather numerous, 0.1-0.4 mm. long: stipulodes forming 
a ae sae at each node, those in the upper whorl 0.58-o

the stem, stipulodes of ea whorl 0.32-0.4 mm. long: leaves 
about 10 in a whorl, 4- . long, containing 5—7 internodes, 
which are triply ea ae the basal one and rarely the 
apical one, which are uncorticated, as is also the ae -celled leaf-tip,

Monoecious, the antheridia and oégonia borne together upon the 
three lowest leaf-nodes : probably about 25 cm. high, dark-green, 
very lightly incrusted; stems oe 2-0.63 mm. in diameter, triply 
corticated; spine-cells somewhat rigid, spreading, 0.3-1. 
long, 0.05-0.11 mm. wide, but the great majority 0.7-1.2 mm. 
long, 0.07 mm. wide, of almost unchanging diameter except near 
some in either aborting, though this is most unlikely to be a con- 
stant character, those in the upper whorl 0.85-1.3 mm. long, much 
exceeding but not concealing the ee basal leaf-internodes ; ; 
stipulodes of lower whorl 0.4-0.68 mm. long: leaves 7-9 in a 
whorl, about 1 cm. long, containing 7-10 internodes, triply corti- 
node below the apical cell, which are uncorticated; uncorticated 
basal leaf-internode usu ily 0.4. 
node of nearly the same length, at the fertile nodes the anterior pair
