 filiform, not creeping: leaves small, densely crowded, when dry appressed,

447. Camptothecium anreum Sch. — Plants smaller and more delicate 

 than in C. lutescens; branches more crowded and shorter; tufts golden 

 yellow: leaves shorter and less deeply plicate; cells of basal angles round- 

 ed-quadrate, forming distinct auricles; paraphyllia quite numerous, ordin- 

 arily oval lanceolate; perichaatial leaves entire: pedicel scabrous; capsule

 leaves broadly triangular, narrowly long acuminate, carinate, plicate, gen- 

 erally plane on one side and revolute on the other, slightly serrulate at
