806 CHARACTERS OF TRIBES AND GENERA. 
led to the ereation of many species, one of which is L. 
magellanica of Desvaux (Hook. Gard. Ferns, t. 52), a native 
of Tierra del Fuego, under which, in the “ Species Filicum,” 
L. Boryana is quoted as a synonym ; but this is reversed in 
e “Synopsis Filicum.” The following are also treated 
as synonyms of L. magellanica ; L. cinnamomea, Kaulf, South 
Africa; L. robusta, Carm., Tristan d'Achuna; L. setigera, 
Gaud., South Brazil; L. zamioides, Gard. Brazil (Organ 
Mountains); L. Ryani, Kaulf, West Indies; L. rufa, ` 
Spreng. (L. Chilensis, Kaulf.), Chili; L. cycadifolia, Colla, 
Tropical America; Z. palmeformis, Thouars, Mauritius; 
L. lanuginosa, Kze., Natal. The only living examples of 
these seen by me are L. magellanica and L. cycadifolia, | 
which I adopt as distinct species; and it is probable that ` 
some of the others when seen together in a living state, - 
will also be recognised as distinct.
