Closely allied to B. mollk (Dz. and Molk. Aim, Sc. Nat. 1844, ii. 300).^i^aws loss crowded, more patent.
oHaxer texture; areolæ larger, rectangular, flexuose at the apex; margin uot reflexed; servatures larger and move
distant, less evidently in a double series.—Tlie specimeus are too few to admit of move tlian one capsule being
examined, but if the character of the inner peristome prove constant, it will be a good mark of the species.—

This floe species differs from all the states of B. pendula in the short, erect base of its leaves, which is widest
at the point from which the superior portion is deflexed, and composed of cells which are eveiywhere far shorter.
