Plate XXIX., fig. 2, plant nat. size; 2 a, leaf; 2 b, 4-flowered spikelet;2 c, flower ; 2 d, diagram of corolla; 2 e, sepals front and side view; 2/,flower bract. The tetramerous flowers and clustered arrangement of the spikeletsplace this species also in Mitrasacme, and the very small triangular-shapedleaves distinguish it from M. hooked. The peculiar leafless-like branchesand inconspicuous flowers of this small alpine cause it to be easily overlooked,but it is none the less interesting to botanists. Named in honour of T. , , who has added much to our knowledge
