This plant differs from T. bimarginatum in the deeply lobed, 

 narrowly cuneate frond, the strong pinnate venation both in the 

 sterile and fertile fronds, and in the longitudinal spurious veins, 

 not always easily detected, in the dilated part of the indusium. 

 I have no specimen of 2\ cuspidatum, but, from Dr. Christ's 

 description and figure, in " Farnkr.", our plant is sufficiently 

 distinct. I accept the judgment of Christensen and Domin, that 

 T. cuspidatum is not known in Australia. Our plant is not 

 unlike that figured in Beddome's Ferns of British India (P1.304) 

 as T. muscoides Svv.; but see note under T. bimarginatum . 



Domin's work contains a description of a new species (7'. para- 

 doxum) from Bellenden Ker. This I did not find, nor the other 

 recorded species, T. peltatum Bak., and 2'. Sayeri F.v.M.
