base of leaf ciliate, cilia very long, hyaline ; texture somewhat
delicate, cells from small to medium size, roundish-quadrate or
oblong, walls somewhat thin, trigones very distinct. Stipules
large, bipartite, segments lanceolate, ciliate. Bracts subquadrate,
to about quadridentate, sinuses acute, segments mucronate, one
or two cilia near the base of braot; bracteole narrowly subquadrate
or cuneate, quadridentate to about -J-, sinuses acute, segments
muoronate. Perianth terminal, oval or oval-oblong, upper portion
5-plicate, mouth contracted, ciliolate or dentate, cilia distant,
unequal. Pistillidia 8-10, cylindrical. Calyptra oval, delicate.
Pedicel moderately thick, white. Capsule almost round, dark
brown. Spores pale brown. Elaters bispiral, pale brown. Perigonia]

brownish-red.

bs.—Easily separated from allied species by the large cilia
at the postical base of leaf, and the muoronate leaf segments.
Distinguished from the variety FloerJdi by its much larger
size.
