Has. Brasil, Raddi.—Professor Raddi appears to have 
seen the fertile frond of this plant, but the pinna (a sterile 
one being the only portion figured) is described and repre- 
sented as reticulated with veins;—a structure so much at 
variance with the genus, that we can hardly believe it to 
form a true species of it.

Han. Virginia, Clayton.—Pursh is of opinion that this is 
only a variety of O. cinnamomea, having the lower pinne un- 
changed into fructification. We have the same appearance 
on a specimen of O. cinnamomea.
