Shoots to 30 cm. or more long, dichotomously branched, the stem and 

 lower branches ± 5 mm. diam. including the leaves. Leaves much ascending, 

 + 8 — 12-farious (arranged in alternate spurious whorls of 4—6), crowded, 

 rigid, acerose, linear-subulate, subcanaliculate by the slightly involute 

 edges, the lower + 4 — 6 mm. long, + '/4 mm. broad, not or hardly narrowed 

 at the base, indistinctly costate, entire or sparingly and minutely dentic- 

 ulate, the central shorter, more distinctly costate and serrulate, the higher 

 more copiously serrulate, passing gradually into the sporophylla. Spikes 

 dichotomous, the branches cylindrical, + 3 mm. diam. ; sporophylla 8- 

 farious, imbricate, rigid, ovate, long-acuminate, subcomphcato-canaliculate, 

 keeled, serrulate, the higher + 2'/2 mm. long.

Shoots pendulous, + 30 --45 cm. long, the stem and branches + 

 ''4 cm. diam. including the leaves. Leaves remote, 8-farious (arranged 

 in alternate spurious whorls of 4), rigidly coriaceous, green, entire, when 

 dry often involute at the point ; lower leaves erecto-patent or subspreading, 

 lanceolate, + 5 mm. long by + 1^/4 mm. broad, subacuminate, the edges 

 parallel, mostly involute in the lower part, the base decurrent, the 

 decurrent portion narrowed; higher leaves passing gradually into the 

 sporophylla. Spikes elongated, dichotomous; ultimate branchlets 3 — 5 

 mm. diam.; sporophylla crowded, coriaceous, the lower ovate-oblong, the 

 higher broadly ovate, yellow, + 2 — 3 mm. long, acute to shortly acum- 

 inate, entire, indistinctly costate.
