I have been able to put fresh specimens of this in various 
stages of young fruit under the microscope. The young capsules 
appear in a cluster at the bottom of hollows in the surface of the 
frond, without any trace of involucre at any stage of develop- 
ment. The present plant must therefore be called a Polypodium

but my friend Mr. H. C. Levinge objects to treating this single 
eter as of such supreme generic importance; 2. e. he inclines 
the views of Mettenius.
