Bractese pi. ^ totam fere caulis longitudinem tenentes, foliis minores subconformes, ventricoso-concavse, arete julaceo-imbricatse. Anthe- ridia jam decisa non vidi. The leaves on each side of the stem arch over towards those of the opposite side, and are so densely imbricated as to simulate sheathing plates or scales ; whence the plants resemble woodlice, or other small crustaceans, curled up and laid on their backs. Gottsche says his Lindigina granatensis has incuhous leaves—doubtlessby mistake, for his L. Liebmanniana is figiu-ed in Mex. Leverm. t. 20,with decidedly succuhous leaves, and he considers the two species con-geners. The latter differs from my plant in the smaller ovate leaves,not arcuato-connivent so as to veil the upper side of the stem. T,),Jis /J,./ S,.r [?;,/,„ isee ad -nat.
