Selaginella subcordata A. Br. msc. 
Surculi erecti, humiles, 3—5 centim. alti, laxe pinnatim vel 
subpyramidatim ramosi. Caulis tenuis, subflexuosus, pleuro- 
tropus, dorso aetate convexus. Badices tenerrimae. Folia 
inde a basi diinorpha, remota, rigidiuscula: lateralia postica, 
erecto-vel horizontaliter patentia, late ovata, oblique sub¬ 
cordata, breviter cuspidata, evidenter marginata et remote 
denticulata, margine anteriore versus basin breviter ciliata; 
axillaria lateralibus similia, sed paulo majora et aequaliter 
cordata; intermedia triplo vel quadruplo minora, ovata, basi 
subattenuata et suboblique inserta, in aristam aequilongam 
patulam excurrentia, parce et breviter ciliato - denticulata. 
Fructificatio ignota, verisimiliter platystachya. (A. Br. msc.)

Ins. Borboniae (Bichard, Gaudichaud, Boivin 929). 
Selaginella tenerrima A. Br. msc. 
Surculi erecti, humiles (4 — 6 centim. alti), gradatim decres¬ 
cendo laxe ramosi, ramis patulis. Caulis tenerrimus, flexuo¬ 
sus, pleurotrope rotundato - tetragonus, pallide flavescens. 
Folia undique dimorpha et remota, flaccida, pallide viridia, 
diaphana: lateralia postica, subhorizontaliter patula, late 
lanceolata et leniter extrorsum falcata, subinaequilatera, 
antice paullulum latiora, acuminata, basi paullulum attenuata, 
tenuissime marginata, denticulis in margine anteriore 12—15, 
infimis paullulum elongatis, in margine posteriore minoribus 
et versus basin evanescentibus instructa. Folia intermedia 
triplo minora, lateraliter inserta, ovato-oblonga, basi obliqua 
in aristam aequilongam ^ lateraliter arcuato-patulam excurren¬ 
tia, carinata, utrinque denticulis paucis instructa. Spicae 
ramulos terminantes eosque latitudine aequantes, superficie 
planae, pectinatae. Bracteae heteromorphae: superficiales 
una cum carina late alata e basi oblique ovata lanceolatae, 
acutae, denticulatae, versus basin pauci - ciliatae; dorsales 
duplo breviores, hyalinae, ovatae, sensim acuminatae, parce 
ciliolatae. Microsporae puniceae granulis acutis, remotis ad- 
spersae. Macrosporae luteo-albae, 0,24 — 0,25 mm. crassae, 
minute et leviter ruguloso - tuberculatae. (A. Br. msc.)
