The affinity of this plant with that given in the preceding Plate (CXLIII.) of this Number, Da- 
vallia Boryana, must strike any one on the slightest examination: yet as the respective genera are 
now constituted, they cannot be arranged together. "This proves the justness of Mr. Brown's 
remarks in the Prodromus Flore IVove Hollandie, where he says, *In methodo naturali genus 
(.Davallia) in quatuor phalanges distribuendum, quarum tres respective affines Lndsec, Dicksonie, 
et JVephrodio." 
Our finest specimens of this plant are from the Honourable the Directors of the India Company, 
gathered at Sylhet by Dr. Wallich.
