LEPIDOZIA, Dumort. 



L. CUPRESSIXA (S\v). Yungas ; Mapiri, cum Orchideis, etc. 

 (Nos. 3,026, 3,064,3,070, 3,071). Agrees well with an original 

 Jamaican specimen from Swartz. Grows in wide depressed tufts, 

 very much as Z. reptans does w^ith us. Leaves have sometimes, 

 but very rarely, 1-3 rudimentary teeth at antical base. Near in- 

 sertion of a branch a six-cleft underleaf is occasionally seen. 

 Laciniae of both side leaves and under leaves are simply subulate, /< 



rarely with the slightest acumination. But in the Peruvian L, ten- 

 iiiciispis {= L. cjipressina var. temciciispis. Hep. A. et A-) all the 

 leaf segments end in a slender cusp of a single row of cells — in 

 the underleaves as much as 6-9 cells long. From this and some 

 other differences! prefer to regard it as a distinct species, under 

 the MS. name (Z. iemcicuspis) proposed in 'Hep. Am. et And.'; 

 especially as I have seen no intermediate form from any country.
