Antlericum ramorum L. basal, glabrous, more or less folded down middle, 4 mm wide, 10 cm long (but perhaps better at tips). Los 8, not distinct, with few slabs at base outside. Leaf 12 cm high, glabrous, very abrupt base (1.5 mm), tapering to a perceptibly narrower top. 7-5 (the uppermost rudimentary) in raceme, the pedicels 1 mm or a little more each subtended by bract longer than persistent. Lowest bract 15 mm, thin (at 2 withered), looks yellowish with dark veins distinct but irregularly spaced, about 7-6 in number. Persistent 1 cm high, 6 segments distinct to base, thin (at 2) yellowish, each with 3 veins of darker yellow. Stamens 6, reaching ½ as long as persistent. Filaments slender, glabrous somewhat shorter than the yellow anthers which are attached on back about ⅓ length above the sagittate base. Style simple, overtopping anthers, enlarged forward top into club-shaped (and perhaps 3-lobed) stigma. Ovary superior 3-angled. Stamens inserted at base of persistent, not on lobes. Pedicels show no signs articulation. Inflorescence 20 cm high. Only pods in Corte seems to be Antlericum Gote # 347 = Phalangium Box 501. See A. ramorum var. simplex S.D.F. 62. (See 6-27-31
