AsPLENiUM GriLLTEsiANUM, Hooh, Abundant about Chicla! 

 Most of the specimens of this fern have come from the Chilian 

 Andes, and except mine 1 have seen none from Peru. Some oi 

 nij specimens exactly agree with those first collected by G-illies, 

 but others are intermediate between Hooker's species and A. 

 fragile of PresL The:?e represent the nortliern A. viride in South 

 America, and it is allowable to doubt w^bether either should be 

 regarded as a distinct species. 



AsPLENiTJM TKipnYLLrM, Fresl. About Chicla, very sparingly! 

 Upper valley of the Rimac, a single frond. i2. Ward. 



PoLYPoniUM ATACAMENSE, BaJcer, 3ISS. Chicla ! My speci- 

 mens closely agree with one from the higher part of the Atacama 

 desert sent to Kew Herbarium by Dr. Philippi, labelled by him 

 Polypodium squamatiim^ but certainly not the species so named by 

 Linnaeus. Mr. Baker has affixed the manuscript name -P. ataca- 

 mense^ and will doubtless describe the species in tbe next edition 

 of the ' Species Filicum.' 



NoTOCHL^NA SQUAMOSA, Fee. Upper vallej of the Eimac, 

 above Matucana. _B. Ward. 



I cannot close this enumeration without expressing my obliga- 

 tions to Prof. Oliver and to Mr, Baker for the friendly assistance 

 which they have repeatedly afforded to me in determining my 

 Andean specimens, as well as those collected in other parts of 

 Soutb America.
