Plantæ foliosæ minores vel parv& interdum exiguæ et omnium hepaii- 
carum minimæ, pallidæ vel virides, sæpe plus minus coloratæ, in una 
aterrimæ, laxe intricatæ vel dense pulvinatæ, sæpissime liguicolæ vel 
muscis consociatæ rarius terricolæ. Caulis quoad magnitudinem plantæ 
validus vel crassus, radicellis repens, parum ramosus, ramis posticis 
rarius lateralibus, teres vel a dorso compressus biconvexus. Folia caulina 
remotiuscula oblique inserta, in aliis subtransverse adnata et carinato- 
conduplicata, semper fere biloba in paucis trifida vel subintegra. Amphi- 
gastria caulina vel nulla vel parva sæpe rudimentaria, in paucis magna. 
Flores feminei in ramulo abbreviato vel elongato terminalia. Folia flora- 
lia trijuga, caulinis multo majora erecta sæpe appressa, intima libera vel 
cum amphigastrio coalita alteque vaginantia. Perianthia ovato-oblonga 
normaliter triplicata, plica tertia postica vel — plicis interjectis — pluripli- 
cata, ore semper constricto breviter inciso, lobis varie armatis sæpe cel-
