congeners but one, by the tenuity and lubricity of the filament, 
im conjunction with the great length of the cells. The only 
species with which it can be confounded is C. Rudolphiana, but the 
ramification is so different in that plant, that, notwithstanding a 
near agreement in the length of the articulations and the general 
aspect of the tufts, there can be little difficulty in distinguishing 
one from the other. 
As yet I have only seen the specimens collected by Miss Ball, 
so long ago as 1843. As I have been in no haste to publish 
it as a novelty, I hope it may stand permanently as a good 
species. ;
