Hab. East Indies. Swartz. Behar. Dr. Hamilton. {WaJ- 

 lich.) — To this place Willdenow refers the L. Bryopteris of 

 Linnaeus, but the expression " foliis sparsis imbricatis," in 

 Sp. Plant., is totally at variance with our plant, and Dr. Wal- 

 lich is surely more correct in reducing it as a synonym to L. 

 rupestre. 



96. L. pallescens. Presl? 



Caule erecto distanter ramoso, foliis distichis coriaceis 

 ovato-subfalcatis acutis albo-marginatis margin e superne 

 pulcherrime ciliatis vix aristato-piliferis, stipulis folio simili- 

 bus duplo minoribus. Presl, Reliq. Hcenk. p. 79. ? 



Hab. Mexico. Hcenke. Messrs. Lay and Collie. — We are 

 doubtful whether our plant be the true L. pallescens of Presl, 

 his description not being perfectly satisfactory. The circum- 

 scription of our specimen is elongated and linear. 



97. L. revolutum. Arnott. 



Caule erecto superne praecipue ramoso, foliis distichis 

 coriaceis ovatis acutis subfalcatis immarginatis minutissime 

 denticulatis muticis, stipulis folio minoribus. — Arnott, in 

 Trans. Wern. Soc. v. 5.

98. L. pulvinatum. Hook, et Grev. 



Densissime caespitosum, caule pinnato vel bipinnato 

 ubique folioso, foliis arctissime imbricatis coriaceo-rigidis 

 obliquis late ovatis mucronato-piliferis integerrimis ciliatis 

 margine inferiore incurvo superiore fusco-membranaceo, 

 stipulis folio simillimis erectis appressis marginibus incras- 

 satis latere interiore ciliatis.
