Information

Creeping plants with primary branches 4–7 mm. long, 1–4 furcate; leafy stems not obviously dorsiventral. Leaves 1.5–2.0 x 0.5 mm., bluish-green, soon becoming opaque-white, linear-lanceolate, adnate at the base, apex acute or acuminate ending in an opaque white straight seta i as long as the blade, margins with short cilia above becoming piliform towards the base, rather squarrose at the apex forming club-shaped branch tips; lower leaves soon becoming papyraceous and whitish (or colourless) lying close to the stem and soon breaking away. Strobilus 2.5 mm., forming at top of lowermost secondary branch; sporophylls in 4 ranks, those on the upper side lanceolate-ovate, on the under side broadly ovate and acuminate, margins long ciliate towards the base. Megaspores 125–00 µ, subscabrate to almost smooth, 3-radiate ridges absent. Microspores 40–50 µ, rugulate, finely scabrate, ± winged.
