30 ox QUEEXSLAXB FEEXS, 



clieliotomously divided into five segments, which are rather broad 

 for the size of the frond, glossy, and taper to a neck-like contraction 

 at the apex, thus giving a stipitate appearance to the fructification 

 which is composed of from four to six hairy pinnules, shorter than 

 £n S. cUcJiotoma, and placed digitato-pinnate, not pectinato-pinnate 

 as in that species ; spore-cases Liserial as in the other Australian 

 species. 



When I first met with this lovely species it was growing at the 

 bases of the Palm trees at Maroochie, a very rich fern locality 

 in the Bunya Mountains, I then took it for a new species, but my 

 excellent and learned friend. Baron Mueller identified it with the 

 S. Fosteri, of Sprengel, and noticed it in the eighth volume of his 

 valuable work the 'Tragmenta Phytographia Australia," since 

 then I met with it at Trinity Bay growing in a similar manner 

 at, and amongst the roots of the Palms in very swampy localities.

Trichomanes yandinense, f new species J. — Ehizome filiform densely 

 and intricately matted and more or less clothed with ferruginous 

 hairs. Fronds shortly stipitate ovate to cuneate, the margins 

 even or slightly uneven (repand), the apex at times slightly lobed 

 four to six lines long. Veins pinnately costseform with regard 

 to the main ones, but between these are numerous striseform ones 

 with also a marginal or intramarginal one to which they all join. 

 Sori terminal, usually solitary at the apex of the perfect ovate
