SPHENOPTFRIDES, Gopp. 



Frond Vu or tri-pinnate ; pinnulce entire, for the most part lobed, cune- 

 ate at the base ; or bi- or tri-pinnatifid, the lobes toothed or lobed, veins 

 furcate : midrib distinct and rather flexuose ; veins obliquely ascending, 

 one to each lobe, simple or dichotomous, and forked at the apex. Fructi- 

 fication marginal. 



' Probably not a fern, as the leaves appear to be whorled around the 

 stem ; it more nearly resembles a small branch of Dammara australis.
