11, Sfxaginella Sprucei A. Br. (non Hook.). —Surculi elati, 

 erecti, alte stipitati, superne in frondem oblongam, laxe bipin- 

 natam, ad basin subtripinnatam expansi (basi stoloniferi?). Stipes 

 ultrapedalis, validus, h mm. et ultra crassus, straraineus, go- 

 niotrope obtuse tetragonus ; in rhachide et ramis frondis caulis 

 angulo dorsali depresso pentagonus evadit, supra bicanalicu- 

 latus. Rami frondis utrinque 6-7, erecto-patentes, utrinque 7-9- 

 ramulosi. Folia in stipite subhomomorpha, adpressa, squamifor- 

 mia, ovata, breviter acuminata, apice denticulata, altero mar- 

 gineprope basin, altero ultra médium ciliis tenuissimis elongatis 

 unicellularibus barbatula. Folia frondis heteromorpha, supra 

 saturate viridia, subopaca, subtus albo-nitida, in rachide remo- 

 tiuscula, in ramis ramulisque contigua, demum imbricata et 

 versus apicem ramorum vix decrescentia : lateralia postica, 

 erecto-patentia, 6-7 mm. longa, oblongo-lanceolata, subfalcato- 

 incurva, acutiuscula, superne subsequilatera, a basi ad tertiam 

 longitudinis partem antice in alam membranaceam albo-hyali- 

 nam ciliis tenuissimis elongatis barbatulam et caulis dorsum 

 tegentem dilatata, cseterum margine anteriore tenuissime serru- 

 lata, poster iore integerrima et plerumque revoluta, apice minute 

 denticulata, nervo subtus prominulo, supra subimpresso. Folia 

 intermedia triplo minora, adpressa, apicibus lateraliter incurvis 

 conniventia, imo in ramulis decussantia, oblique ovata, valde 

 insequilatera, iatere scilicet extcriore angustata, basi oblique 

 adnata (non producta), breviter acuminata, prœfcer apicem den- 

 ticulatum integerrima, supra basin exteriorem ciliis nonnulîis 

 barbata, dorso nervo incurvo obtuse carinata. Fructificatio 

 ignota.
