Syzygiella concreta

The isotype material of Syzygiella grollei Inoue (1974: 303) from JE consists of robust plants with broadly ovate leaves that are regularly spreading, even when dry. Ventrally, the leaves are broadly adnate (ca. 3-5 cells). Some shoots are provided with rudimentary underleaves either in the form of unbranched, 3-6 cells long, uniseriate filaments or lanceolate, appendages which are 2-3 cells wide at their base and up to 9 cells long. The perianth is ovate and the bracts are entire. In all these features Syzygiella grollei resembles large forms of Syzygiella concreta ( Gottsche 1863: 82) Spruce (1876: 234) , especially in the presence of ventrally broadly connate leaves and rudimentary underleaves.
