28 Lembidium dendroides, n. sp. 



Fronds ascending from a creeping filiform pale rhizome,^ 

 sometimes tuberous at the base, dendroid, apex circinate; stems 

 thicker, irregularly bipinnate, branches lateral postical, confined 

 to the upper half, sub-fasciculate, either simple or bearing one or 

 more ramuli, leaves contiguous vertically patent, divergent, 

 amplexicaul, convex-conduplicate, subcordate, 4 rarely 5 spinose- 

 dentate, apical teeth larger, connivent, with a shallow obtuse sinus, 

 second tooth about half way down each margin — apex cucullate. 

 Underleaves pyramidal apex truncate and bearing 3-5 closely set 

 ciliate teeth, the inner ones longest, basal margin spurred, fertile 

 branches shoi't postical, involucral bracts 2-3 rows ovate acute, 3-4 

 subulate-dentate at the apex. Perianth (1), pistillidia numerous. 



Dioicous (?). Plants growing in loose tufts of a dull green colour. 

 From a creeping rhizome the stems ascend, pinnate or sub- 

 bipinnate, bare near the base, fleshy, flagellif erous, flagella deflexed. 

 Stolons long, white, often filipendula at the extremity, the tubers 

 fusiform and of a brown colour; outer layer of large distinct cells, 

 inner hyaline, on a cross section cells of stem large 8 x 10, 15 cortical 

 larger, delicate thin walls. Branches curled, distant, lateral or 

 postical, deflexed at the apex. Leaves transversely inserted in two 

 rows, alternate or sub-opposite, imbricate convex-conduplicate, 

 sub cordate, 4 rarely 5 spinose-dentate, when flattened out
