Miildenberf/'ti, differing in the lon^ei-aciuninate subulate leaves, with shorter q'ladrate and less papillose areolation, the perisTonial leaves longer and acuminate, flexuous at the point, etc. The form of the capsule is the same; the pedicel shorter, thick, not geniculate base. 3.

In wide more or less compact yel- lowish green tufts; stems long, simple ordichotomous; branch- lets verticillate, nearly equal: leaves often of two forms, cither small, ovate, obtusely pointed and appressed to the stems, or larger, ovate-lanceolate, acute, erect and ojjcn or sccund; costa excurrent into a short bristly point; pericluetial leaves linear- lanceolate, plicate at the base, all serrate, papillose, glaucous- green and opaque : male flowers broadly discoid; inner peri- gonial leaves ovate, lanceolate, spreading above the erect con- cave base, blunt or subacute, densely serrate : ca))sule on a long solid slightly flexuous pedicel, cernuous, ovate-globose, of thick texture, striate, longer oblong and ribbed when old ; lid convex- conical, acute; teeth purple, lanceolate; cilia two, as long as the segments. â IJryol.
