lariter divisus pinnatusve, ramis patentibus vel patulis, obtusis 

 vel breviter cuspidatis. Folia sat conferta, caviuscula, mollicula,

Seems to be related to F. novce-anglice Sulliv., but readily 

 distinguished from this species by the leaves (chiefly the branch 

 leaves) which are narrower, longer acuminate, entire at apex, 

 and by the much smaller and less distinct alar cells. It belongs 

 to the section Heterofhyllce.
