Descr. Surculi vari& longitudinis, 1—4-un- 
ciales, sepe in cszspitibus maximis con- 
fert, stupá radiculosa ferruginea coaliti, 
innovationibus sensim aucti, sepe ramosi 
Folia approximata, e basi lata attenuata, ex- 
tremitate subsetacea, carinata, 7ervo crasso 
distincto ad apicem percurrente, margine 
subundulata, nec involuta, a medio folu 
carinaque argute serrata, madore erectó-pa- 
tula, interdum  subsecunda, siccitate hor- 
sum versum Ílexa curvataque, unde facies 
plantae crispa, superiora lete virentia, in- 
feriora pallida s. rufa; perigonialia ovato- 
lanceolata, pallide virentia, ecarinata. ;Sezce 
terminales (ad. innovationes quasi laterales), 
semipollicares. Sporangium spheericum, aeta-

vexum, brevissime conicum.  Peristomium 
ut in JB. pomiformi. 
Obs. Folüs latioribus planiusculis (nec invo-

nec erectis & colore ut plurimum dilutiore

major & minor, qve vix nisi elongatione 
surculorum inter se discrepant.  Directio 
foliorum, sporangia, forma operculi &c. 
certe eadem; folia minime subulata ut vo-
