116 MR. G. MASSEE—REDESCRIPTIONS OF 
States, being represented in the Kew Herbarium from Carolina 
(Schweinitz) ; North Greeubush (C. A. Peck) ; Cotoosa Springs, 
Georgia (Ravenel, n. 1730); Pennsylvania (Dr. Michener, 
n. 3602); Newfield, N. Jersey (Hillis, nn. 2499, 2886). 
The present species is a Chlorosplenium, hence the name must be 
CHLOROSPLENIUM CHLORA. The range of colour from yellowish- 
green through clear yellow to orange or saffron is often shown in 
different individuals of the same group. When dry the margin 
is incurved and grooved.
