Similar in form to Baiera gracilis, except in the narrower and 

 more frecjuently branched segments. The tips of the segments 

 are obtusely pointed as in B. (jracilis. The Leckenby Collection, 

 Cambridge, contains some sjiecimens of B. Liiulleijana in which the 

 narrow segments arc more widely spread, giving the leaf a broader 

 form similar to that of B. gracilis, as shown in PI. IX. Fig. 3.
