“ Stem trailing, very slender, reaching a length of one-half 
to one foot, flat on the back, bisulcate on the face, irregularly 
forked low down, the pinnately arranged branches distant, 
short, and but little compound. Leaves of the lower plane 
crowded and ascending on the branchlets, spaced and spreading 
or deflexed on the main stem, oblique oblong, subacute, one- 
twelfth inch long, bright or pale green, membranous, more 
produced on the upper side of the mid-rib, not ciliated at all, 
rounded on both sides at the base, but only imbricated over 
the stem on the branchlets ; leaves of the upper plane one- 
third to one-half as long, oblique-ovate. Spikes square,

and Chusan, but none of the specimens are in fruit, and they 
may be platystachyoid.”
