culmi brevioribus, apice curvatis, marginibus lieviusculis et 

 spiculis brunneo-cinerascentibus. Praeterea haec addenda: 

 Setae involucrales spiculam superantes, brunnescentes. Squa- 

 mae vacuag, intimas angustae; squama fertilis inferior maturi- 

 tate trigona, dorso carinata, lateribus utrinque trinervia, 

 superior cuneata valide striata, sursum involuta; squama api- 

 calis tantum rudimentalis; rachiola inter squamas fertiles 

 sursum dilatata, inter fertilem superiorem et rudimentalem 

 oblonga, late alata, medio nervö et apice macula brunnescente 

 (squama altera rudimentali?) praedita, in squama superiori 

 fertili inclusa. — Itaque a specie Hookeriana distinctus sit 

 necne, incertum nobis videtur. Certissime tamen a M. mu- 

 tisii diversus!
