The species has also been reported from Cuba (Pagan, 1939). Puerto Rico (Pagan, 1939), 

 Guadeloupe (Pagan, 1942), Mexico (Jovet-Ast, 1960), Brazil (Herzog, 1927, 1952a), British

 northward along the coast of the United States to Long Island, eastward to the west coast of 

 Ireland, West Pyrenees, the Azores and into tropical and South Africa.

These plants are much smaller than is usual for the species. The stems are 

 delicate and the leaves and underleaves are bifid and very small, a condition 

 which one might expect to find on branches of depauperate plants. However, 

 these plants do not appear to be depauperate. The leaf segments are uniseriate 

 from the base or from a "lamina" half a cell high and three or four cells wide 

 (one or two cells under each segment) as in T. sejuncta but the cells are shorter, 

 only to 49 n, and only about half as long as is usual for the species, although 

 there is considerable variation in the length between the cells of one segment 

 or between leaves of different plants. 



The variety has much in common with the next species T. pseud ozoopsis 

 and may be closely related, but in the latter the leaves are mostly 3-parted, of
