This is the largeft the Eritijh Jungerniannice. The 

 (lalks are about a finger's length, railed a httle 

 from the ground, either fimple, or divided into 

 a few branches. The leaves are roundifh, gib- 

 bous, or a little convex on the upper fide, and 

 concave underneath ; pellucid, yeilowifli green, 

 deftitute of nerves, finely ciliated on the edges, 

 growing alternately, pinnate, and near to each 

 other. 



The fructifications are produced at the extremities 

 '■'■' of the branches, out of long cylindrical vagin^t 



or fheaths. The peduncles are about an inch 

 long, pellucid, and filvery ; the anther j-^ or 

 heads, are oval, of a fhining black-red colour, 

 c • burfting into four equal lanceolate Valves, con- 

 taining a fine polleni^ or powder, affixed to nu- 

 merous curled elafiic hairs^ as in all the other 

 Ipecies of that^^K«i. 

 g^ There is a variety of this with leaves more evi- 

 dently ciliated, and growing more clofely pin- 

 nate, fo that their edges lie upon one another, 

 but in other refpedls the fame. See Michel, gen.
