Although the palmate character of tlic frond of tMs species does not differ mucli from H.palmata, still 
Its different mode of growth clearly indicates its being a distinct species. In K. pahnata the axis of vcr- 
iiation consists of a small erect cormus, formed of fasciculate fronds, Tvhereas in H. hedercBfoUa the axis 
IS a decumbent short squamose sarmentum ; it also differs in the stipes bciug perfectly smooth and 
ebeneous.

• About cigl.ty species of Cheilanaes are described by Sir William Hooker in his ' Species Pilicum • where 
n^says A ain is the attempt to form a definite character which shall decide the limits of this genus " 
W ith this I perfectly agree, as long as the technical character of the genus is made to depend entirely upon 
the fo™ of the son and indusium. In the species typical of true Cldlanaes the indusium is formed on a 
reflexed creunle, and is more or less distinctly renifonn, containing a single cluster of sporangia in its axis • 
but m many species referred to acilanthe. more or less of the margin is reflexed and indnsoid, containing' 
two or more clusters of sporangia in its axis, which in some species are so contiguous as to have the apt 
pearance of being contiuuons, and apparently not differing from the technical character of PterU. Like 
other extensive genera, the species are capable of being separated so as to form natural groups, some of 
winch are so veiy- distinct from one another iu general habit that they seem to have no natural relationship, 
tT bet ITT "'^"f • """'" ^ *'" ""''" °^ fructification, they woiJd hardly be supposed 
to belong to the same genus It is therefore not surprising that Pteridologists have taken dkrent 4ws 
some retaining the whole under aeilanaes, whUe others place certain species under different genera 7 
r^ards the group to which the present and following species belong, M^ee raises them to thfr k ot - 
genus, named by him Mynopteru, which I have adopted.
