OBS.-Eemarkable for its caducous leaves ; having a verv
narrow base at insertion, they fall off when dry on pressure^
leaving the stem more or less naked whilst the stipules remain
attached. ^
Distinguished from FruUania mierophylla (Gott.), which it
resembles most in size, by its fragile leaves, the antical lobes of
deT tlte rotundate at the apex, with margin irregularly
Prom^ FruUania Tamarisci (L.), by its smaller size, fragile
diffm-enr bracts and perianth
Prom Frullania dilatata (L.), by its smaller size, reddish
tinge fragile leaves, irregular dotted cells, different shape of
stipules, bracts, and smooth perianth, not tuberculate
