Excerpt from Journal of Botany, British and Foreign, 1875, Vol. 4
Our plant is here figured for the first time. The plate, which has reached me since the present paper was written, well represents the species in its early stage; in its after growth the branching becomes much more apparent. In the magnified representations the flattening out of the barren pales and consequent tearing of the membrane has caused them to appear constricted in the middle; the form of their summits as given in 7a, is very typical.
