OF THE Synopsis FILICUM 625 
settled is in our own country, and the only body that can ever 
settle it are the botanists of America. Should American botanists 
take a stand in this matter that can be agreed upon it matters not 
whether the slower conservatives of Europe follow or not. 
Following the numbered species of Gymnogramme in Synopsis 
Filicum over twenty have stood as the types * of genera already 
established : 
No. 2. LeproGRAMMA J. Sm., 1841. (Includes also nos, I-11.)

Kuhn, 1882. Represented also by P. cyclophylla, asecond South American species,

No, 16. HeEcisTorreris J. Sm., 1842. 
No. 19. G¥MNopTeRis Bernh., 1799; also the first species mentioned under Gym- 
nogramma Desv., 1811, and Neurogramma Link, 1841. (Includes also nos. 17, 18, 
23, 32.)

No. 66. SyYNAMMIA Presl, 1836.f 
No. 76. SELLIGUEA Bory, 1824. (Includes also nos. 68-82. ) 
No. 83. DicryocRAMME Fée, 1850-52. 
No. 84. Bommerta Fourn, 1876. (Includes also no. 43.) 
Besides this No. 20 is a species of Ceterach, No. 33 (Gymno- 
s’amme Houghtoni Hook.) may belong to the same genus, and 
two or three others are too little known to enable us to be certain 
of their relations. 
These facts alone will show that there has been a decided op- 
* By type I mean here the first species described under the genus where no type is 
Stated or implied. : 
“ } Contogramme was founded on three species of which C. Javanica is first figur ed. 
eels has united Dictyogramme with this and indicates only a single ao 
While there are evidently several. . : : 
_ =Presl founded this on two species, Grammitis elongata Sw. and Polypodium trt- 
“m Cav., figuring the latter. John Smith in reviewing Presl’s work refers the first 
Species perhaps probably to Phymatodes and limits Presl’s genus to the second.
