Plant growing in small dense clusters of a pale green color. 
Root, a few minute, whitish, simple fibres, proceeding here and there from the under 
side of the plant. 
Stems about a quarter or half an inch long, cylindrical, procumbent, simple, or now and 
then furnished with one or two short lateral shoots. 
Leaves (f. f.2. 4. 5) rather closely placed, always patent or horizontal, quite entire, ovate, 
having however a broad and semi-amplexicaul base : those at the base and the extremity 
of the barren shoots are the smallest (f. 4), the rest are about a quarter of a line in 
length: their color is a light, yellowish green, varying in the Lower leaves to a dirty 
brown : the reticulation is large, composed of oblong cellules. 
Pericluetial leaves (f. 8) larger and more oblong than the rest, at the base concave, and 
embracing the lower part of the calyx, their upper part patent.
