From 7^ pscudotriquetniin, which it has been confounded by some authors, it differs in its bisexual inflores- cence, the slender stems generally shorter, the leaves less solid and cuspi- date, the capsule shorter, and lid not as highly Sehimper remarks that 7>. cirrlKiluiit, Ii. biinuin, and Ii. cunpidatitm are separated by char- acters of so little importance that th(!y should perhaps be united into one species. 15.
