A plant evidently of the same genus with that figured at

our Tab. 905; and for similar reasons, as in that case, M. Fée

refers it to Leptochilus. Our plants have a short stout hori-

zontal very scaly caudex, and the fronds, including the stipes,

are a foot to a foot and a half long. Strangely enough M.

Fée quotes J. Smith’s Gymnopteris trilobata under his Hete-

J. Sm.) an extremely different species, and No. 32 of Mr

Cuming’s collection. Our species varies with the leaves

‘segments, and with the lower segments auriculate. Gymno

teris taccefolia, J. Sm. initen n. 357. Leptochilus, Fee,

Acrost. t. 50), is closely allied to the more highly developed

form of this, but it is larger, more membranaceous, decidedly

pinnate, with the lower pinnx bipartite, and has a creeping

caudex. Smith’s name is anterior to M. Fée’s, but neither is

appropriate to so very variable a species.

to Forster therefore is due its discovery. It seems to have

remained unknown to any other Botanist till the Rev. Mr.

Colenso detected it in 1838 and 1841 in the above local-

ities. Its affinities are with the N. Zealand Todea pellucida,

(see Tab. 8. of Icones Plantarum), and the Australian Todea

Fraseri, Hook. et Grev. Ic. Fil. t. 101. The three we think

are well separated from Todea, and Presl has determined the

er of his Genus Leptopteris in his Suppl. Tent. Pteridogr.

». 70. As aspecies, it is abundantly distinguished by the out-

e of the frond tapering at the base, the stout stipes and main

rachis, and the copious bristly tomentum of the underside of the

main and partial rachis. ‘Some of the fronds,” Mr. Colenso

says, “are upwards of four feet in length. The old fronds

spread outwards, while the younger ones, generally three in

number, circinnate and of a lighter green, rise in the most

graceful suberect manner from the centre.”

A very distinct species of Asplenium, which will assuredly

rank in habit and structure with the Darea group, which

is usually acknowledged to be inseparable, generically, from

true Asplenium.

The present species is remarkable in the length and narrow-

ness of the segments of the frond. Of the ultimate segments

nearly the whole of one side of the costa is often occupied by

the sorus: so that the species cannot well be confounded

with any other of the genus.

One of Dr. Wallich’s many Indian discoveries, made either

by himself in Northern India, or through the medium of the

many excellent collectors he was rivileged to employ ; and

whom he so successfully employed, especially in the search

after Ferns, that very little of novelty has been left for suc-

ceeding Botanists. In the arrangement of the Genus Cheil-

anthes in the Genera and Species Filicum, we have placed this

in the “ Pteridoidee” group, having, as we there observed,

nearly as — a claim to be placed in Preris or Allosorus as

in Cheilanthes. Presl considers it an associate of Cryptogramma,

Br., for he refers it to the section of his Allosorus, which in-

cludes that genus ; erroneously we think. Asa species it is

This species, though not new, seems of rare occurrence, and

in the specimens before us, from Brisbane river, gathered by

the late Allan Cunningham, shows itself under a new form,

that of a proliferous plant, throwing out roots and young

fronds from the long attenuated apices whenever they touch

the soil. The scales of the stipes, though, when seen with the

naked eye, looking like chaffy hair, are, as rey ted y

in Icones Filicum, above quoted, subulate, dark brown, mem-

branaceous, coarsely reticulated, with four divaricated subulate

segments at the base. As a species, this is very distinct

from any other we are acquainted with. The sori occupy

nearly the centre of the lobes or pine, between the costa and

the margin.

ending in a long tapering point; the lower portions pinnate,

even bipinnate at the base. The rachis and primary veins,

and even the surface, especially beneath, are pilose. The

pinne are more or less deeply lobed, decurrent with the rachis

at the base. Sori generally one to each lobe or segment. In-

This we consider a very distinct Nephrodium, somewhat

indeed allied to NV. unitum, Schott., but having nothing of the

harshness and rigidity of that species, and with pinne much

less deeply lobed, rather serrated than lobed’; and the lower

pinnz, unusually small and cordate or rotundate, are extended

down to the base of the stipes; these lesser pinne are always

barren.

Our specimen of this Fern is from Dr. Klotzsch of the

Royal Berlin Herbarium, with his name attached; but I am

ignorant whether the species be any where published or not.

Finding the involucre to be reniform, and not orbicular and

peltate, as in Polystichum, I venture to place it in the Lastrea

group of Aspidium, or, according to the views of M. Fée, so

unsettled is the nomenclature of the genera of Ferns, in

Aspidium proper. It has, however, unquestionably, very

much the general aspect of Polystichum, the texture of the

frond being firm and somewhat coriaceous and glossy, and the

teeth and lobules of the pinnules almost spinulose. It appears

to be a distinct species from any hitherto described.

This is a true Neottopteris of J. Smith, (Thamnopteris,

continued intramarginal line is concerned; but such a genus

is most unnaturally separated from several simple-fronded

Asplenia. As a species its affinity is with Neottopteris Phyl-

litidis, J. Sm. (Asplenium, Don), and no less with N. stipitata,

J. Sm. (which I cannot distinguish from the preceding), but

the fronds are here much narrower, more suddenly and narrowly

acuminated, and at the base very much more attenuated. My

only specimens are from Mr. Simons.

This appears to be a rare species, and gathered by very few

confounded it with Asplenium (Camptosorus, Lh.) rhizophyllum,

of which it has a good deal the habit; but, besides the very

different venation peculiar to the latter plant, its fronds are

entire (not pinnatifid), rooting and proliferous at the extremity.

In the general form of the frond, in colour, texture, in the

acuminated point, and in the attenuated base, this has a very

close affinity with our Asplenium Simonsianum: it differs,

however, in the shorter fronds, in the serrated margins, and

in the more remote and more patent lines of fructifications.

Tf, however, the frond be held up between the eye and the

light, the nerves will be found to be all free, each of them

terminating a little below the apex of a serrature, whereas in

A. Simonsianum, they unite so as to form an in

nerve, characteristic of the Genus Neottopteris, J. Smi—

Thamnopteris, of Presi.

My specimen of this, as it appears to me, very distinct

species of Asplenium, I owe to the kindness of Professor

Miquel, who sent it to me with many other plants from

Caraccas. I can find it nowhere described, and I venture to

name it subhastatum, from the disposition of the majority of

the fronds in my possession to have a spreading lobe on each

side of the base, giving the frond a hastate form. It has the

habit, rather of a Scolopendrium than of a single fronded

Asplenium ; but the fructifications are truly those of the latter

Genus, as is the venation; each vein terminating in 4 slightly

clavate apex, and free from any union with the adjacent veins.

This is another Asplenium, nearly allied to our .A. loriforme

t. 926, and A. Griffithianum, t. 928, remarkable for the sud-

den, narrow, tail-like apex of the frond; and I find a pecu-

ity also in the involucres, for on the inner or upper side,

a nerve-like line will be seen to run parallel with and of the

same length as the involucre, leaving a narrow area between

it and the contracted involucre attached to the nerve. This

line is caused by a slender membrane, evidently a portion e

the involucre, remaining after the dehiscence. It gives the

appearance of a double involucre, or of one opening in om

middle ; and it was probably this which suggested the name

of scolopendrioides to Mr. J. Smith.

the Polypodium macrocarpum of Presl, a name which should

unquestionably, on every account, be preferred. It is a true

Polypodium, of the same group as our Polypodium vulgare,

and we are now able to give some additional habitats for this

widely extended species. Some of our specimens, from the

Andes of Ticicaca, (14,000 feet above the level of the sea),

have the fronds exactly spathulate, a little lobed at the base:

but this is to be considered as an abnormal form, and from

this we have all the intermediate states to the many lobed

and elongated form given in the Icones Filicum.

of Wallich. The simple fronded state of the plant is identic

Our figure of the venation of the present East Indian Fern,

in Icones Filicum, is inaccurate, and it is a plant that deserves

to be better illustrated; the more so as our next plate will

represent a Fern with very similar habit, and exactly similar

venation, from the West Indies. Of the two Mr. J. Smith pro-

poses to constitute a genus “ Asplenidictyon.” Trusting, pro-

babably, to the figure in the Icones Filicum, Presl has placed

Aspl. Finlaysonium in his group of Asplenium, “Venis venu-

lisque apice liberis.” In the “venule apice arcu transyerso

conjuncte,”our plant approaches Presl’s Thamnopteris section of

Asplenium ; but, more than this, the veins anastomose, more 0

less, below the apices, as in Oxygonium, where however the

involucres are diplazoid. It borders too upon Hemidietyon ;

differing in wanting the marginal vein which unites the late

veins in Asplenium(Hemidictyon) mat

venation affords beautiful sectional characters, but does not

necessarily afford sound generic distinctions.

This appears to be an entirely undescribed Fern of peculiar

habit, haying the fructification of an Asplenium (verum) and

the venation of Hemidictyon, except that it wants the marginal

vein which unites the terminal veinlets in the latter genus.

This will consequently rank with the Asplenium Finlaysoni-

anum, represented on our preceding plate; differing however

in the shorter broader frond, the paleaceo-setose stipes and

rachis, the less acuminated pinne, which have the lowest half

the broadest and most disposed to form an angle or auricle,

(not the upper one). The root here too is simply fibrous, not

forming a knob-like caudex.

Haz. Old mossy trees, forests of Nouvelle Decouverte and

Grand Port, Mauritius, Bouton. Bourbon, Carmichael.

T possess a specimen of this plant from Mauritius, sent by

Mr. Bouton, with young fructification, exactly as he observes,

“ couverte d'une poussiere blanche,” and another from Bour-

bon, gathered by the late Capt. Carmichael. M. Bouton

justly notices its affinity with Polypodium rigescens of Bory,

figured at Tab. 216 of Hook and Greville’s Icones Filicum.

Its very much larger size, different colour, differently shaped

lobes, and segments, and, especially, the young white sori, are

sufficiently characteristic of the present, as a species. A

comparison of the figures of the respective species will satisfy

any unprejudiced mind of the differences between the two.

Has. Isle of Bourbon, “Polypodium, No 3, from the Museum

de P'Histoire Naturelle.”

_ The entire absence of white sori, the very copious fructifica-

tions, and the usually broader and more obtuse segments of

the frond misled me as to the identity of the species of this

Fern; and it is only since the lithograph was executed and

all the impressions worked off, that I have satisfied myself

it is the old state of Polypodium leucosorum, every segment

loaded with brown sori. Some of our specimens, too, prove

that the sori vary to elliptical as shown at fig. 2. and the

receptacles of the capsules are probably invariably oblong as

shown at fig. 1.

We have noticed this plant under the description of the

preceding Plate (Tab. 944), and have there inserted the

synonym of our Pol. myriocarpum, Tab. 84 of the present work.

Our representation is now accompanied by a magnified figure,

showing the character of the venation, and proving that it is

of the same nature as that of the true P. pellucidum. It is,

indeed, an exceedingly variable species: but our Herbarium

exhibits specimens which clearly show the passage from one

to the other, and the present can only be considered a

bipinnatifid variety of that species. All the varieties appear to

be found in the same island, Oahu—but they are probably

by no means confined to it.

A Polypodium of the Drynaria or Phymatodes group, which

at our Tab. 951, it has no costulex, in other words the costa is

not pinnated with strong strait parallel primary veins: the

whole surface is reticulated, with oblong hexagons lying in

an oblique direction, united by an intramarginal vein, and

within each areole is generally one simple or forked, ultimate,

free veinlet, the branches are often much divaricated. The

frond is of a parchmenty or chartaceous texture, between

coriaceous and membranaceous, opaque. The apex runs out

into a long, narrow beak, whence the specific name.

Apparently a common species, on the trunks of trees, in

orbicular involucres of H. Javanicum, but they are not

confined to short lateral segments as in that species :—nor is

the shape of the involucres like that of H. crispatum. . The

fronds are more deeply and copiously divided than either,

more crisped, especially in the wings of the rachis and stipes,

and the general habit is different, though difficult to be

described in words. It seems to hold a middle rank between

the two East Indian species just mentioned.

Some of our specimens are nearly twice the size of that

here represented ; especially those from Prof. W. Jameson:

variable, sometimes ovate and nearly entire, sometimes, and,

more frequently, broadly obovate and more or less deeply

spinuloso-serrate. The rachis is not winged below by the

decurrent side branches, and hence the frond is there pinnated;

while above, the rachis is so winged as to constitute a bi- or

tripmnatifid frond. The stipes is wingless too, and often

roughly setose, with short harsh hairs. The root is a creeping;

slender, filiform, downy caudex, and runs extensively over

rocks and trees.

The Lycopodium decurrens of Mr. Brown was first referred

to L. scariosum, Forst. by M. Spring, (Monogr. Lycopod. Pars

1. p. 108.); and after a careful examination of very many

Specimens with a large suite of those of Forster’s plant from

various parts of New Zealand and others from Lord Auckland’s

group, we have no hesitation in adopting that opinion. The

length of the peduncle, and the presence or absence of the scariose

white tips to the larger and stipulary leaves, are most variable

characters in the New Zealand plant; and though these tips

are generally absent in the Tasmanian plants, some of the leaves

show them. The form of the scales of the spike, the breadth of

their white margin, and the length and form of their white tips

are no less variable; the latter are more or less recurved. The

large common state of L. scariosum has not hitherto been found

in Tasmania: the climate of the better explored districts would

appear to be too dry for it. In New Zealand it is common in

alpine woods of the Northern Island, and throughout the

Middle and Southern, and it is also found in Chili, among’

Jamaica; it is the L. Jussieui, of Desvaux and of this work, t.

In size and texture this pretty Grammitis resembles the

G. leptophylla of Swartz, but the pinne and pinnules have

nothing of the broad and cuncate form of that species. In

ramification it more nearly approaches the Gymnogramme

cherophylla, but that species is much larger, and the ultimate

segments are longer and narrower and almost acute, and the

fructifications are more copious and continuous. The present

Plant is, as far as I know, wholly confined to the Island of

Ascension.

labrous pale coriaceous frond, with patent linear pinnules;

all deflexed. In some of Mr. Colenso’s specimens, gathered on

setaceous pale, and with pale scars where old fronds

have fallen—J.D-H.

reaches the margin. Agardh’s description was made from

A variable species in its size and in the length and breadth

of the pinnules. Fronds one and a half to two feet long,

stipes nearly as much, and, as well as the main rachis,

rich, glossy, mahogany brown. Rarely I have seen the

frond bipinnate, with the pinne very much elongated, as if

unnaturally drawn up among other plants. The remarkable

feature of this species is the large size of the lowest pair of

segments or pinnules of the pinne, and their being so closely

attached to the rachis that their base laps over it. The

veins are free, as of the true Gymnogramme (Leptogramme,

J Sm.) The sori are oblong, obtuse, rather short.

We believe this to he identical, as to generic structure, with

the Polypodium umbrosum, of Hort. Se. on which Mr.

Brown founded his genus Allantodia; and the excellent Link

and Kaulfuss unite with him in considering it distinct

a Asplenium, “Tnvolucro fornicato, e vena lateraliter

rto, eaque utroque margine inserto, interiore dehiscente.”

Preal and Fée, however, unite it with Athyrium, and that

view is nee aig our Genera Filicum, Tas. xvi. Mr.

Bauer’s figure t here given exactly represents the more

mature sori; but I have failed to detect the insertion of the

two margins ‘of the involucre on the vein. In a young state

the involucre is nearly flat, and the outer margin appears to

me to be free from any union with the vein. With regard

to Athyrium, as it stands in Presl and Fée, it is made to

contain some species with involucres so little inflated, that it

would puzzle any one to say whether they should be referred to

enus or to Asplenium. “Le port et Vhabitude generale”

A very elegant, and as it appears to Mr. Colenso and to me,

as well as to Dr. Hooker, an entirely new species. It is very

slender in every part, in the caudex, in the rather short

stipes, and in the ramifications of the frond. I find only one

involucre near the superior base of each pinna, infundibuliform,

stipitate, and remarkable for the very long flexuose receptacle

or columella; seven or eight times longer than the involucre.

Mr. Colenso writes, “This species of Trichomanes was

discovered on the deep sides of a dark ravine on the banks of

asmall rivulet, which meandered through the dense and ever

humid forests of the mountainous region between Waikare

Lake and Rua Tahuna, in the interior of the Northern Island

of New Zealand, where it grows very profusely.”

Kunze justly describes the figure of this species of Notho-

chlena in Labillardiére as “mediocris,” the magnified repre-

sentation being especially erroneous. When a fertile pinna is

arefully examined, the margin, pale and almost scariose, Wi

be seen to be recurved and to represent an imperfect involucre,

indicating a near approach to some Cheilanthes; between

which two genera we have already had occasion to observe that

the line of distinction is not easy to be drawn. Judging from

the copious specimens we have received from New Zealand,

from the northern islands at least, the species seems to be of as

frequent occurrence there as it is in New Holland; and

it 18 now ascertained to have a very extensive range, from

Swan River in the West to New Caledonia and New Vonlant

in the East.

. United States; Hancock County, Alabama, not far

from Sipsey river, found only on the face of an insulate

sandstone rock, within the reach of the spray of a water-

fall, J. M. Peters, Esq.

“The fronds, as in 7. muscoides, are very diverse in shape:

the dilated cuneate ones might be taken for the sterile

form ; but I observe that, more frequently than the narrower

fronds, they bear a terminal indusium, which is sterile and

empty. There is a peculiarity about the venation, some 0

the branches of the primary veins being evanescent towards

their base, so as apparently to lie free and independent in the

frond” (as shown in our figures), ‘The slender stipes is as

long as the frond itself—It belongs to Hooker’s first section

of true Trichomanes, and of his 2nd sub-division, which con-

tains T. muscoides, T. pusillum, T. erosum, and T. apodum.

Our new Fern is most nearly related to the first of them

(chiefly a West Indian species), having the involucre equally

immersed in the body of the frond, (which is not the case

with the other species) and the receptacle very short. But

the shape of the fronds, their slender stipes and the total

absence of an intramarginal vein are abundantly distinctive

characters. In the shape of the broader fronds, and in the

stellate hairs which sparsely beset the margins, our plant may

be likened to J. reptans; but that species has a close and

flabellate venation, and a cylindrical, exserted involucre, with

a deeply two-lipped orifice.”

In the above Dr. Asa Gray has left nothing for us to

notice, save that the cellular structure of the frond is ex-

ceedingly compact, constituting very minute areole.

This is a variety to which we alluded in our description under

different from that species, an opinion that some would

consider confirmed by the venules there being simple, here

forked, and each branch soriferous, so that there are as it

were twin sori:—but after our figure was engraved a more

careful examination has led to the conviction that the two

are but varieties of one and the same species, of which

intermediate grades exist in our extensive suites of specimens.

willow-like pinne of the frond, certainly in the specific

character as given by Willdenow, of M. angustifolium, (“ fron-

dibus pinnatis pinnis lineari-lanceolatis acuminatis integer-

rimis, basi angustatis,)” a near ally of that species; but that

is a native of South America, from Caracas, and the whole

height of the frond is described to be nine inches, the pinne

three inches long, the stipes 2-3 inches: whereas our plant

is 2-3 feet long, the pinna 8-9 inches in length, the stipes

more than nine inches. Each transverse veinlet bears two

oval sori which soon become confluent.

I possess only a portion, it would appear, of this frond, at

any rate no stipes nor caudex; and in general form this has

affinity with many species of this extensive genus. There is

however, a peculiarity in the direction of the involucres, which

strikes me as being unusual. The yeinlet on which the

involucre is placed forms an angle at or near the middle, and

from that angle the sorus and involucre appear to spring, and

the latter ‘is not directed towards the apex of the lobule

following the direction of the veinlet, but is free from it and

has an oblique direction towards the main or central vein.

- Borneo, near Sarawak, Mr. Thos. Lobb.

The genus Tenitis has been of late properly considered to

be confined to one species, 7! blechnitis, and that is a pinnated

species. Our present plant is a true Tenitis, with a simple

frond, and quite entire at the margin, except from the effect

of injury. In all our fronds too, where the apex is uninjured,

the two lines of sori are united or continuous within the apex,

the only portion invariably free from sorus being at the very

base. The plant is peculiarly rigid and coriaceous, glossy,

the margin thickened. The caudex is creeping, but rather

slender, and clothed with dark brown, glossy, crinite scales.

My only specimen of this Ophioglossum is that here re-

what tuberous root, and the plant seems to be terrestrial and ?

to grow erect. Were it an epiphyte and a pendent frond, the j

species might be supposed to be a form of the O. pendulum :

(see Hook. et Grey. Ic. Fil. Tab. 19); but here is no disposition

in the frond to be dichotomous; and the narrow stipes of

our present plant, the elongated peduncle and the situation

of the peduncle (itself as long as the spike) forbid such a

supposition. The membranaceous texture is in favour of its

being the same as OQ. pendulum; and it may be considered to

hold an intermediate rank, between the terrestrial erect and

the epiphytal pendent species.

A species of Drymoglossum extremely different from any

hitherto described, remarkable for its thick, firm, coriaceous

shining, obovate sterile fronds, incrassated at the margin,

tapering into a rigid stipes as long as the fronds. The fertile

frond, including the stipes, exceeds by many times the length

of the sterile fronds with their stipites, and is also peculiar in

being very narrow and very thick (almost semiterete), having

a deep furrow on each side the costa, in which the sori are

sunk. The veins anastomose, but the areoles are not appen-

This fine and apparently very rare Fern (for hitherto it has

been found only by Mr. Cuming) was first named by Mr. J.

Smith Gymnopteris platyrhynchus, a genus from which it

differs widely in habit, in the monomorphous fronds, and in

the limited mass of fructification. Kunze has, as it appears to

me with more propriety, referred it to Hymenolepis, which

indeed Presl united with Gymnopteris in his “Tentamen

Pteridographiac,” but which it may be presumed he now

retains, since in his remarks upon Macroplethus, a genus

destined for our present plant, he says, “differt ab Hymeno-

lepide, quacum venis venulisque accedit, soro sub apice frondis

centrali solitario elliptico, margine frondis plano undique

cmeto, receptaculo elliptico non solum parenchymati sed

quoque costz insidenti.” Even M. Fée cannot assent to these

views, and he arranges the species with Hymenolepis.
