In the first case the petioles are extremely long and weak, and the leaf-segments float upon the surface. In the other case the petioles are much shorter and stouter, and the leaves are borne upright. The young leaves are circinate, as in the ordinary Ferns, and in. Pilularia retain the same structure as the coty-.
