wide, attached by the central portion of the base to the upper 

 surface of the rachis and have a broadly acute apex, somewhat 

 truncated by the upturning of the lower margin. The rachis is 

 about 2 nmi. wide and is mostly hidden from above by the overlap- 

 ping bases of the pinnae. The veins are fine, divergent from the base, 

 and repeatedly dichotomous ; they average about 10 in the space 

 of 5 mm. 



The specimens described here from Beaudesert are so similar 

 to some of Seward's figures of 0. obtusus*'^ that no hesitation is felt 

 in identifying them with that species.

Frond linear, more than 6 cm. long, 2 cm. wide. Pinnre almost 

 at right angles to the rachis, 1-2 cni. long, 4 mm. wide, overlapping, 

 and attached to the upper surface. They are auriculate at the 

 upper edge and have an obtusely-pointed apex. The veins are 

 divergent and dichotomous, being about 6 or 8 in number at the 

 base and up to 12 in the widest part. 



From time to time Australian specimens have been referred 

 to the species Otozamites Mandelslohi, Kurr. One of these specimens
