Each branch is short and beai-s bnt few pafrs of leaves:—these are narrow at the base, gradually widening
upwards to the top of the branches, where they are collected into a flattened head three or four times wider than the
inferior part of the shoot. This resembles in general appearance the P . pusilla, Mont. (of Tasmania), bnt is more
minute, has not curved stems, there are fewer leaves ou the shoots, and the anterior margin of the leaf is dccuiTent.

Allied to the P . sciophUa of Nepaul, which has emarginato-dentate leaves, but from which the present may be
distinguished by its smaller size, erect growth, and closely imbricated foliage, which is more toothed. The perigonia,
with which the Antarctic species is supplied, are in the form of a umi’ow spike, whose leaves are minute, erect,
imbricated, and bidentate ivith somewhat squan’ose apices.

So very near the European J. hkmpUata, as to be hardly distinguishable from it specificaUy ; the capsules are
however shorter, the perichætial leaves entire, the calyx longer, and the areolæ of the foliage smaUer. The calyces
are always terminal, whereas in J. bicuspidata they ai-e more frequently lateral.
