This species is allied to J. palmata (Hoffm) but is far. 
more compounded in its divisions, which are pinnate and not 
palmate, the lobules are far narrower, and the ca/ypíre are 
borne higher up on the frond.

Fronds loosely tufted, with broad hooked tops, the stem 
flat, brown, pubescent, the pinnules are smoother and of a 
pale olive-green. The calyptre are brown, rough, and have 
at their bases a few variously laciniated scales, they occur - 
towards the top of the plant at the base of the upper lobe, 
and on its inferior side, hence they are concealed as it were 
by the claws of the plant; sometimes two occur together. 
The perigonia are in similar situations, but upon different 
plants, they are clavate, and consist of a lobe, with its pim- 
nules incurved and grasping each a large, spherical, pedicel 
lated anther, bt 
The nearest ally to our plant, is J. eriscaula (Hook.) but 
which is of a darker green colour, has the frond tripinnates — 
the pinnules narrower, the entire frond more elongated ano. 
supplied with more lobes. :
