In the Grammitis decurrens of Dr. Wallich we have a species quite unlike any other described 



■ 



plant of the genus, and very similar in habit to many species of Polypodium. 



We have received specimens from Dr. Wallich in 1820, and again in 1826 from the Honourable 

 the East India Company ; but the exact place where the plants were gathered is not mentioned.
