This Fern has hitherto been considered to be peculiar to the New 

 World : and hence perhaps Mr. J. Smith was led to consider some im- 

 perfect samples, in Mr. Cuming's collection, as a new species. Our 

 specimens quite accord with Schkuhr's figure, while others, the more 

 perfect ones, have five pinnae, as represented in Jacquin's excellent 

 figure. — Presl's Asp. cordifolium (Epimel. p. 63), an Indian species, 

 seems to accord with this, and he is disposed to consider the Aspid.
