Identification type:
Determination
Note:
This is a difficult specimen to name confidently. The presence of flagelliferous branches here are characteristic of Wijkia. However the homomallous set of the leaves and pale colouration are suggestive of Sematophyllum subhumile var. contiguum; but I do not think that Sematophyllum subhumile var contiguum ever produces flagelliferous branches. My sense is that this collection is better referred to Wijkia. It is not representative.
