breviter petiolatis, anguste decurrentibus, cuneato-obovatis vel 

 cuneato-lanceolatis, flabellato-nervatis, margine infra integro 

 supra crenato-serrato ; facie antica per nervos elatos flabellato- 

 striata, rhaclii viridi flexuosa subgiandulosa. Sori elongati, duas 

 tertias partes ex inferiori nervi parte occupantes, maturitate totam 

 pinnaB mediam tegentes, sed finem margine distantem habentes. 

 Indusium introrsnm aperiens. Capsulae annulo perangusto. Tex- 

 tura herbacea. Color juventate Isete-viridis, maturitate fuscus. 



Growing, in very small quantity, in bushhouse, Gladesville, 

 N-S.W., on a tuft of Polypodium subauricidatum brought from 

 the Cairns district (probably from Ravenshoe) ; Aug., 1913. 



In consequence of the smallness of the material, this species is 

 set up with some hesitancy. It is comparable with A. Wildii Bail., 

 which, however, is a larger fern, with a more pronounced acro- 

 scopic development at the base of the pinnse, and with sori that 

 reach nearer the upper margin.

Banks of Railway Cutting, just above Kuranda; Aug., 1913, 

 INly specimens are much smaller than the typical form, but 

 appear to agree with it in every other respect.

Near top of Bellenden Ker; Miss J. S. Gibbs, 1914. 



Judging from Mr. Bailey's figure (Liths. 91), Miss Gibbs' 

 specimens are in better condition than were his, and the sori reach 

 nearer to tlie base of the pinnae.
