ADDITION. 



In looking over the collections of plants made in the South Sea 

 Iflands by Mr. Menzies, I found a fern, which at the firfl: appear- 

 ance I took for a Tricbomancs, according to the Linnaean divifion of 

 ferns, or Davallia, in Dr. Smith's arrangement; but, on clofer in- 

 fpection, it evidently belonged to the genus of Lindfcea : and to com- 

 plete my account of this genus, as far as it is hitherto known to 

 me, I take the liberty to add this fpecies, in fending this paper to 

 the prefs. 



9. Lindsjea irichomanoidesy frondibus bipinnatis: pinnulis lineari- 



clavatis. Tab. ii. 

 Habitat in Nova Zelandia : Du Iky Bay. Archibald Menzies, 

 Radix repens. Stipites brunnei, digitales. Frons ftipite paulo 

 longior, oblonga : Pinnule infimae incife. Fruclijicationes intra 

 marginem. 

 In an advanced ftate of the fructification, the membrane which 

 covers the capfules, fometimes fplits into two or three parts, and 

 has then an appearance of Davallia ; but in the earlier ftage of 

 the fructification, the continued membrane of Lindfiza is the more 

 evident, as the infertion of it is marked by a brown line acrofr 

 the whole breadth of the pinnula.
