686 Pteridophyten. — Floristik etc. 



lected, was Ophioglossum vulgaium L., the first record for the 

 Island. In the "Dinner Run," and elsewhere, a fern, previously 

 identified with Asplenium pteridoides Baker, was found. Is is now 

 described as A. bulbiferum var. Howeanum. One fern is described 

 as a new species, viz., Polystichum Kingii, in honour of Mr. Ed- 

 ward King, it first collector. When first found, it was determined 

 by Dr. Christ, of Basle, as P. aculealum var. Moorei. Later it 

 was found by Mr. J. H. Maiden. Specimens secured for Mr. Watts 

 by Edward King were sent to Dr. Christ, who determined 

 them as a vanety of P. Moorei Chr. After a careful stud}^ of the 

 specimens in relation to the allied species, it was found that it 

 differed in important respects from both P. aculeatnm and P. Moorei. 

 It is therefore published as a new species. J. H. Maiden.
