 cula tri-quacli'i-pinnata snpcrnc ancijiito, pinnulis a basi angu- 

 stiori dilutalis cuneato-lincaribus marline crenato-insequalibus, 

 junioribus subserratis, fcrtilibus. . . . 



Gel. filicinum Bory I. c. 



Hab. in oceano Pacilico ad oras Chilcnses (l)'l rvillo!); ad in- 

 sulas Societatis (Lesson). 



Frons 3 3-pollicaris, a basi pinnala, pinnis superne densissimis, 

 oppositis ct non raro terms verticillalis, cluabus marginalibus. Pinna) 

 bipinnatcB pinnulaeque a basi teretiuscula ancipites cuneato-lineares 1 , adul- 

 liores margine inoequales aut subcrenatre, juniores fere scrratse. Color 

 sec. Bory purpureus. 



"Habitus Hypni parietini L., cnjus folia densa ct ramos superne ro- 

 tundalos refert" Bory 1. c. Hypnum quoddam revera ita a?mulalur ut 

 primo intuilu tale crederes. A G. serrulate tvgre cbaracteribus, facile 

 babitu dignoscitur; fructiis detecti forsan notas suppeditabuot. Caulis 

 in prassenti videtur teretiusculus, in G. serrulato lato anceps. Pinnae in 

 illo a basi proveniunt summopere regulares, apice densissimae; in hoc 

 iuferne nulla?, dein subregulares, apice breviorcs, aliquando in velusla 

 planta sparsim subfascioulatee. Habitus utriusque diversissimus. 



5. GEL. SERRULATU.M (J. Ag. Alg. Liebm. p. M) caulescens, caule an- 

 cipite inforne dcnuduto, fronde tri-quadri-pinnata, pinnulis u 

 basi angusfiori dilatatis ciineato-linearibus. junioribus marginn 

 sorrulalis, fcililibus simpliciusculis obovatis serratis sub-tortis 

 crispisque, sphserosporas pluiimas f'oventibus. 



Gel. serruldlum J. Ay. I. c. 



Hab. in mari Cariboeo ad oras Vcnezuelie; ad Guayia (lib. 

 Hinder!). 



Pra? CcCteris robusta et crassa, 5 6-poIlicaris, rachide inferne fere 

 1 lineas, superne lineam lata et in media parle caulis ancipitis salis crasMi. 

 Radix exirnie fibrosa. Frons erecta, senilis parum regulariter pinnala, 

 jiinins bipinnatis, vix ultcrius decomposes. Pinriula 1 a basi angustiori 

 jiarian dilatatae, opposite aut altcrnac, subplanae et fere lineares; superiores 

 breviorcs 1 , juniores rnargine spinulis minutis obsit;c; fertililes breviores ct 

 magis obovalap, in discu sphaprosporarurn soro pellucidiori instructte, mar- 

 gine circumcirca serraljv, plerumque plus minus lortae ct crisptv, in parte 

 superiore plan Ice plurimac. Color fere violaccus. Substantia eximie rigid;i, 

 ita ut planta, diflicile praeparanda, satis informitcr congesta in Herbario 

 servetur. 



Primo intuilu Gel. cornci formarn robustam crederes; accuralius in- 

 spectam, notis cximic characteristicis distinctam observabis.
