40 Mr, DryanderV Account oftheLindfcea, 



and fkilful botanift in Jamaica, whofe paper on the germination of 

 ferns, printed in the laft volume of our Society's Tranfactions, may 

 entitle him to be particularly remembered in treating of this order 

 of plants. Our Prefident, with whom I communicated my deter- 

 mination of this genus, has already introduced it in his valuable 

 arrangement of the Genera F'dtcum Dorjiferarum, publifhed in the 

 fifth volume of the Memoirs of the Academy of Turin.
