Obs. The variety (3 alone, of this species, having been found in Britain, to that I shall 
confine my description. 
Plant growing erect in densely-crowded tufts of several inches in diameter. 
Stems scarcely so thick as pack-thread, and of rather a bright reddish-brown color, from 
two to three and even five inches in length, flexuose, having the apices slightly 
incurved, either simple, or now and then producing a solitary short lateral shoot, or, 
as is sometimes the case, divided near the extremity into five or six branches of 
nearly equal height. 
Leaves in four rows, in some specimens thickly imbricated, in others more widely 
placed, of a lanceolate figure, falcato-secund, divided for nearly three parts of their 
length by an acute sinus, into two equal, entire, acuminated and strait, or at most 
but little divaricating, segments : the terminal leaves (f. 4) are more inclining to 
ovate, and have always the lower half diaphanous, the upper one being of the same 
color as the whole of the other leaves, a yellow brown, pale in general, but deeper ir.
