Peclmophyllum pyrenaicum, Spruce. Autoecious. Tufts dense, 

 much interwoven, of a brownish yellow colour. Stems spread- 

 ing, radiculose, creeping on the surface of earth or rocks where 

 they grow, sparingly branched, branches axillary, or proceeding 

 from the under surface of the stem. Leaves somewhat rigid, 

 slightly shining when dry, densely placed on the stem, and di- 

 stichous, broad at the base and quadrate towards the apex, which 

 is variously notched and toothed. Amphigastria very small, 

 and likely to be overlooked, though they are mostly present, 

 especially near the points of barren shoots, 1-3 parted, segments 

 subulate. Involucral bracts much larger than the cauline leaves, 

 oblong-ovate, slightly emarginate at apex, with recurved mar- 

 gins. Colesule compressed, a little prominent, short, obovate-oval, 

 mouth broad and rounded, lips semi-oval, irregularly cut, and 

 dentate. Androecium terminal, interruptedly spicate, on same 

 stem as the fertile shoots, or on distinct branches on same plant.
