where they occur at the joints. The minor leaves are 
quite in a line with the rachis, and have sub-lateral attach- 
ment. The primary rachis is 3^ li. across the leaves, the 
others are reduced branch by branch, till the final ones 
are only 2 li. w. 
General distribution — Endemic.

— Growth more or less prostrate, with simple thread like roots a few 
in. 1. springiug at intervals from the jointed flexuose rachises. Branches 
very long and attenuated, having contiguous erecto -spreading branch- 
lets at the base about 1 in. 1., which gradually become distant and less 
than a i an in. 1. in the extended outer part. Breadth over all 2^-3 li. 
Rachises ribbed or angular, exposed beneath. Major leaves oblique or 
in cases nearly horizontal, oblong, the under margins up-curved at the 
acute point, base subcordate, deeper on the upper side than the lower, 
margins not ciliated, i-i£ li. 1. and half as w. imbricating. Minor leaves 
lanceolate-acuminate, inequilateral, attached on the inner side, the 
outer side with a rounded auricle developed below this point ; margins 
plain or very faintly serrated ; texture firm ; colour light green. 
Spikes short, brafts keeled. 
Appun n. 802. There is only one specimen, in the Kew 
Herbarium, on which no locality is stated by the col- 
lector. The species is well marked by the long attenu- 
ated chara6ter of the primary branches, secondary 
ones being all short. The specimen in question is over 
2 ft. 1. was apparently gathered near its base, and has 
about half a dozen of the long branches all of which run 
much in the same line. From the upcurved under mar- 
gin the lateral leaves have the appearance of being 
slightly falcate. 
General distribution — Endemic.
