FROM THE FALKLAND ISLANDS. 181 
Disrris. Peru, Chile, Fuegia. 
The record of this rests on Gaudichaud’s А. palmetta, which was re-examined 
by Hariot. The plant is possibly the same as that which I have referred to. 
Phyllophora cuneifolia.

All the Falkland Islands material that I have seen belongs to the plant 
named by Kützing Р. secundatum. Hariot followed Hooker, referring his. 
Fuegian material to P. coccineum ; but it appears to me that P. secundatum 
is a valid species.

Nitophylla are abundant in the Falkland Islands, but, as in the north 
temperate regions, are difficult to understand correctly except from a good 
series of specimens or when studied in their natural surroundings. N. lividum 
is one of the rarer species ; a single specimen from Roy Cove, which agrees 
with the types at Kew except for the colour being more purple and less livid, 
is here referred to it. Though young, the plant bears antheridial sori: these 
are densely scattered over the entire surface of the frond as minute, slightly 
elongated spots. The nerves are well developed at the base, but the lamina is 
veinless. The species has been recorded from Kerguelen both by Dickie and 
Askenasy. Dickie’s Kew specimens are, however, doubtful, differing from 
the type in colour and outline of fronds. 
М. Grayanum, J. Ag. Bidr. Florid. Syst. p. 48. 
Falkland Islands, Abbott ; in herb. Gray, teste Agardh. 
Distris. Falkland Islands. 
Professor Nordstedt was kind enough to send a tracing of the type of 
N. Grayanum, which was based on a specimen from the Falklands in herb. 
Gray. The plant, somewhat torn and imperfect, consists of an oblong-lanceo- 
late frond bearing tetraspores over the entire surface. It differs from 
N. Smithii in the absence of nerves, and is probably closely related to. 
N. laciniatum.
