 margine dorsali breviter decurrente integra, rectiuscula, reflexa, ventrali ad basin 

 producto, rotundato, caulem excedente adpresso, porrectove, fortiter remote serrata 

 insigniterque deflexa, caeterum convexa saepissinieque convoluto-fornicata, in 

 sicco crispa. Folia in ramis Iiornotinis reliquis paullo angustiora, magisque 

 approximata, siccilate arctius revoluta, dellexo-secunda, nitidula. Folia palles- 

 centia absque iillo fere virore, constant cellulis mediocribus, quarum basilares 

 elongatae, nervi fere rudimentum sistentes, rotundatis, eilipticis, vel rotundato- 

 angulosis, interstitiis trigonis, ampiis, reticulantibus distinctis. Inflorescentia 

 mascula et feminea terminalis vel alaris in axilla dichotomiarum caulis ejusque 

 divisionum. Ramuli antheridiiferi abbreviati, teretiusculi, dense foliosi, spici- 

 formes, saepe sub apice innovando ramorum ad instar continuati. Folia eorundem 

 caulinis multoties minora, oblique cordato-ovata, integra, obtusa, distiche denseque 

 imbricata, basi inflata adpressa, apice subpatula, pleraque antheram pedicellatam 

 subrotundam in axilla foventia. Folia involucralia caulinis similia, sed conspicue 

 ampliora, adpressa, amplectentia, perianthio breviora. Perianthium amplum, 

 campaniforme, subundulatum, vix compressum, ore sinuoso, minute sub lente 

 denticulatum, hinc demum fissum, saepius decurvum. Calyptra carnosula, firmius- 

 cula, ampla, pistillis sterilibus copiosissimis basi stipata demum vertice lacerata. 

 Capsula subrotunda. 



Plagiochilae fasciculatue (Lindbg. Sp. tab. 1) accedere videtnr vel perianthii, vel foliorum in- 

 volucralium caulinorumque forma, sed foliis latioribus laxioribusque, humectis convexo- 

 fornicatis, rameisque in sicco ad speciem Pl. renitentis convoluto- cucullatis, stalura paullo 

 minore differre videtur.
