Caules laxe cespitosi, erecti, flexuosi, plerumque simplices, nunc 
dichotome divisi. Folia fusco-ferruginea, arcte imbricata, 
bifaria, disticha, quadrata vel subrotunda, ad apicem in lobis

cherrime ciliata, ciliis longis divaricatis, articulatis, Substan- 
tia laxa, reticulata, areolis oblongis grandiusculis. Periche- 
tialia reliquis similia, sed calyci appressa, Stipulcee magne, 
lato-quadrate, 4-6-loba, lobis elegantissime ciliatis. Calyx 
terminalis, oblongo-cylindraceus, ad apicem longitudinaliter

This very elegant plant may be considered to approach nearer 
to J. trilobata than to any other species with which we are at 
present acquainted, but is at once distinguished from it by its 
beautifully ciliated leaves and stipules, which give to the whole 
plant, even when seen by the naked eye, a peculiarly tomentose 
appearance,
