pentagonus, supra médium obtuse angulatus et utrinque leviter exaratus, 

 dorso latior et convexus, fuscescens, versus apicem, aeque ac rami, stra- 

 mineus, supra laevis, dorso pubescens, pilis albidis redis obtusiusculis 

 unicellularibus. Folia subcoriacea, non diaphana, integerrima, immargi- 

 nata, colore atroviridi, in planta viva subcœrulescenfce insignia, infra pal- 

 lidiora, utrinque subopaca, setatessepe cupreo-rufescentia, siccitate dorso 

 inconspicue longitudinaliter rugoso-striata , nec transversaliter corrugata. 

 Folia lateralia h mm. longitudine vix superantia, versus apicem ramulo- 

 rumpaulo decrescentia, in rachidis etramorum parte inferiore remotiora, 

 latiora, basi verticaliter peltata, antice plerumque undulato-bisinuata, 

 postice in angulum caulis decurrentia, superiora et ramulorum conferta, 

 angustiora, basi paulo contracta, verticaliter adnata, non peltata, ante- 

 riore simpliciter smuata, posteriore subsinuata, decurrentia. Folia inter- 

 media adpressa, convexiuscula, versus apicem leviter carinata, cuspide 

 pallidiore curvato-patula , inferiora e média fere basi appendice lineari 

 decurrentia, superiora e basi exteriore appendicem adnatam acuminatam 

 demittentia. Spics& ramulos terminantes, brèves (2-3 lineas longœ), ramulo 

 folioso duplo angusliores, exacte tetragonae. Bracteae dense confertae, 

 pallidse, saape rufescentes, ovatee, valde acuminatae, acute carinalse, mar- 

 gine remote et insequaliter denticulatae, basi peltatae vel subcordato- 

 excisse, vel irregulariter dentato-lobatae. Microsporangia transverse reni- 

 formia, tumida. Microsporse albida3, -^-^ mm. crassaa, minutissime et 

 dense granulatae. Macrosporas perpaucas neque satis maturas vidi, \ mm. 

 crassas, fuscescentes, subtuberculatas.
