Preter largam formarum copiam distingues varietates duas eximias 
hine indicatas, nempe : var. zarginans, fronde rigidiuscule char- 
facea, pinnulis lanceolato-ovatis v. sepe pzne lanceolatis acute 
serratis v. pinnatilobis, soris copiosis lobos acutos szpe fere edentu- 
los marginantibus ; Clarence's River, Beckler; Richmond's River, 
C. Moore ; Moreton's Bay, F. M. ; lobus pinnarum et superiorum 
pinnularum imus sepe decurrens paulo disjunetus et in formam 
deltoideam vergens ; eandem varietatem accepi ex insulis Feejen- 
sibus; hzc quibusdam formis aberrantibus aliquotenus ad Aspi- 
dium.aristatum transgreditur.  Varietas fenera, fronde amplius 
composita membranea, lobis pinnularum sspe obtusiusculis soros 
modo paucos sparsos modo plures margini approximatos producen- 
tibus; Port Macquarie, Horat. Tozer; MceLeay's River, Beck- 
ler; Bersakers Range, Thozet et Bowman; Mount Mueller 
(Australie maxime orientalis) Fitzalan et Dallachy ; hsc va- 
rietas procul dubio verum Nephrodium tenerum reprssentat et 
pluribus notis ad Aspidium tenericaule accedit. Fines specificos 
inter hasce plantas trahere frustra tentavi, sed rhizomata nondum 
serutavi. 
Varietas tenera Aspidio velutino (A. Rich. Voy. de l'Astrol. 
Bot. 70; Nephrodio velutino, J. Hook. Flor. N. Zeel. ii. 39, t. 80) 
simillima, sed caret pulvere glandulari paginz frondis inferz ; 
stipes et raches eque ac eorum indumentum reperies fusca nec 
cano-fulva ; pinns inferiores gaudent petiolo longiore ; segmenta 
ratione longitudinis sunt angustiora et swpe acutiora; sori sunt 
margini valde approximati. Aspidium velutinum passim obvenit 
exindusiatum. "die
