972 CHARACTERS OF TRIBES AND GENERA, 
different forms of one species. In the“ Synopsis Filieum" — 
a fourth species is described as belonging to this section, 
under the specific name of “ Michleriana," a native of New 
Granada. It is described as being pinnate, 12 to 15 inches 
in length, the pinnw 3 to 5 inches long, the veins forming ` 
hexagonal areoles, with free included veinlets, which seems ` 
to indicate its affinity with Dictyoriphium; its mode of 
vernation is not described, and probably when that is 
known it will be found not to belong to this tribe.

Oxs.—The species on which this genus is founded differs — 
in general appearance from the true species of Schizoloma, — 
and especially in the pinnæ being articulate with the rachis. - 
It appears to be a rare Fern, as there is no specimen in ` ? 
the Hookerian herbarium ; but the nature of the stipes of ` 
fronds in my herbarium* ludas me to believe it to have d 
articulate vernation. :
