282 Journ. Hattori Bot. Lab. No. 43 1977<br />
Remarks: characterized by the strongly denuded and ecorticate, ligneous pseudopodetia<br />
with smooth, almost polished surface. Appears to be transitional to the var. rnacrocarpum<br />
(RICH.) BAB. and the f. elegans TH. FR. Seen from Australia, Tasmania, New Zealand and<br />
Chile.<br />
Fo. subcompressum LAMB (n. f.)<br />
Diagn. : Ramuli phyllocladoidei leviter complanati, flabelliformiter divisi, latere inferiori<br />
pallidiores. Ceterum ut in typo.<br />
Typus: Tasmania, Mt. Wellington, on rocks, leg. R. A. BASTOW (date ?) (LD, holotypus; FH,<br />
isotypus).<br />
Remarks: phyllocladia slightly flattened, flabellately branched in one plane and with<br />
paler undersides. Otherwise as in the typical species. Rather uncommon; seen from Australia,<br />
Tasmania, subantarctic islands of New Zealand, and Chile (incl. Juan Fernandez).<br />
Some of the references in the literature to St. ramulosum var. compressum BAB., such as HUE<br />
(1898-1901) and LINDAU (1912), perhaps refer to this form of St. ramulosum and not to the<br />
true "var. compressum" BAB. (=St. fronduliferum LAMB).<br />
Fo. tomentosulum LAMB (n. f.)<br />
Diagn. : Pseudopodetiis tomentosulis (tomento tenuissimo, adpresso) dignoscitur; habitu<br />
interdum macrocarpoideo (phyllocladiis pseudopodetiorum fertilium superne rarescentibus<br />
vel fere nullis).<br />
Typus: Colombia, Dept. Santander, W. slope of PBramo Rico, altit. 3600 m s. m., on soil, leg. E. P.<br />
KILLIP and A. C. SMITH, 1927 (no. 17733) (s, holotypus; FH, isotypus).<br />
Remarks: pseudopodetia more or less continuously clothed with a very thin, adpressedfelted<br />
tomentum. Stature and habitus either as in the typical species or more resembling<br />
that of var. macrocarpum (RICH.) BAB. with upper parts of fertile pseudopodetia more or less<br />
destitute of phyllocladia. Rather common in Colombia and Peru; also seen from Ecuador,<br />
Bolivia, Venezuela, Brazil, West Indies (Dominican Republic) and New Zealand.<br />

This is the specimen cited as type by DODGE, 1929, p. 139, and is labelled: "Echantillon figur6.<br />
