A montibus Grampians et lacu Swan Lake (Allitt) per Austra- 
liam felicem et Neo-Cambriam saltem usque ad flumen Clarence's 
River; in regionibus alpinis humidis non rarum, in fagetis mon- 
tium Baw Baw Range frequentissimum, in monte Hothami altitu- 
dinem 7000' adscendens. Frons nonnunquam apice furcata. Pro- 
lificationes infra-apicales szepe plane pinnate. Copia squamarum 
seeus rachim valde incerta ; et rachis iisdem passim fere tantum 
orbata. Occurrit varietas exindusiata, soris perpaucis solum in- 
dusium gerentibus. Positio A. cystostegii (Hook. Spec. Filic. iv. 
26, t. cexxvii.) climate glaciali progeniti et probabiliter in alpibus 
Australie reperiendi admodum dubiis vexatur.

À promontorio Cape Howe usque in viciniam fluvii Hopkins's 
River silvas perumbrosas incolens. 
Rhizoma repens, multo longius elongatum quam id A. aculeati. 
Frons interdum jam statu pauci-pollicari abunde fructigera, hoc 
statu tantum sesquipinnata; e. g. Genoa Peak, Quamby's Bluff, 
Southport. A. Richardi et A. oculatum e Nova Zeelandia fortasse 
hujus speciei formam minus divisam exhibent, et quasi transitum 
ad A. aristatum prsebent. :.Hisce etiam formis transitoris adnu-
