CHEILAN'THES, S\v. — A geuus of 

 Pteridi'se (Polypodiaceous Ferns), nearly 

 related to Adkintum. The marginal lobed 

 indusium is very narrow ; some species have 

 the under surface of the leaves mealy, from 

 the presence of microscopic hairs. 



A large geuus ; tropical.

It is divided into two sections, contaming 



numerous families and genera.

 plane.

 jointed.

 birds' heads at the back, 



BiCELLARiiD.E. As the last, but whips 

 absent, and birds' heads stallied and jointed.

 ceous, and flexible. 



Membraxiporid^. Expanded, incrus- 

 ting, stony ; cells horizontal, quincuncial.

CHEIROS'PORA, Fries 

 Melanconiei (Stylosporous Fungi 

 upon the twigs of the beech. The myce- 

 lium spreads under the epidermis, and bursts 

 through in rounded or irregular, conical, 

 black pustules, 1-20" in diameter, which are 

 composed of a large number of fine filaments, 

 unequal in length, and waved, each termi- 

 nating in a bunch of spores. The heads are 

 formed of chains of spores like a Penici/liiim, 

 when young, but crowded togetlier more 

 densely as they become more fully developed 

 into a globular or oval head, about 1-700"; 

 the spores about 1-400U". This genus cor- 

 responds to Stilhospora, Montague, 3l//rio- 

 cephalum, De Notaris, and, ajiparently, 

 Hyperomyxa, Corda ; but the latter is said 

 to have a mucous vesicle enclosing the 

 head.
