This is nothing more than a starved specimen of 377 with good 
fructification.

As this is the type of P. auriculatum, L., the name Nephro- 
lepis auriculata should, in accordance with the principles which 
are held to govern the nomenclature of Ferns, take the place 
of N. cordifolia. Linneus’s plant has generally been taken to 
be Polystichum auriculatum, Presl, which perhaps Burman's 
wretched figure quoted by Linnzus may represent.

The determination of this is somewhat doubtful; the specimen 
is without fructification.

Hermann's plant is the very common little species in the South 
of Ceylon, which Baker (Journ. Bot. xxii. p. 88) refers to S. inte- 
gerrima, Spring, adding that it is the L. ornithopodioides of the 
Linnean herbarium. I think it should keep this latter specific 
name, though Linneus has confused his species by quoting for 
it the figure in Dillenius’s ‘Hist. Musc., which that writer 
considered to be Hermann's Ceylon plant, but which repre- 
* It is customary in Fern-nomenclature to retain the earliest specific name 
under whatever genus it may have been published.
