 4 to 10 inches high, simple, straight, round, bearing about 2 

 leaves, which, like the more numerous radical ones, are flat, 

 many-ribbed, dark green^ extremely hairy at the margin, and es- 

 pecially at the top of the sheathing part. Clusters 3 or 4, one 

 of them nearly sessile, the rest on spreading, lax, simple stalks, 

 composing a small panicle ; each ovate, or roundish, of from 4 

 to 6 or 8 crowded, nearly sessile, ^ojyers, enveloped with mem- 

 branous, partly brown, sheathing, wrinkled bracteas. Calyx- 

 leaves lanceolate, pointed, dark brown, with a stout ribbed keel, 

 and pale membranous margin. Capsule broadish-obovate, con- 

 siderably shorter than the calyx, pale brown, obtuse and rounded 

 at the extremity, with a small point originating in the base of 

 the style. Mr. Bicheno's figure of the whole capsule is reversed. 

 The seeds have no crest, except their short thick stalks, running 

 up one side, be considered as such.
