 island, such as the Barn, Rupert's Hill, Ladder Hill, High Knoll, and High Point, at 600 

 to 1600 feet."— Melliss.

St Helena. — Indigenous 1 Without special locality — Menzies. 



This miniature fern, recorded from Jamaica, Brazil, and Chili, is only represented in 

 Kew Herbarium by one specimen, labelled " Grammitis graminoides, Sw., St Helena," in 

 the handwriting of Menzies himself. Menzies touched at the island on his way to New 

 Zealand and collected a few ferns, this apparently among them, though Sir W. Hooker 

 (Sp. Fil., v. p. 122) says "possibly an error in the locality." It is true no other collector 

 has found it in the island ; but then, as the plant is very slender, and only about an inch 

 high, it is probable that it has been overlooked.
