We received the spécimen as A. scandons J. Sdk, which 

 differs from this in having the fronds broader, the pinnae very 

 laxly and much more tinely divided, the pinnulae deeply pinna- 

 tifid with narrower segments, the texture less firm, not rarely 

 thinly herbaceous, the veins without apical impressions.
