The type is Py'rula. Mawm, re markable for the breadth of its umbilicated disc in the region of the canal. This character appears more or less in all the species but two, which otherwise resemble the umbilicated species so closely as to be scarcely separable. The exceptions are L. Fruticosus, Gould, and L. Pagoda, Adams. The species are all peculiarly sloped down towards the angle excepting.
