 podium pustulatum, G. Forst. 



The synonymy of these two ferns has been extremely confused. 

 P. pustulatum has thinner fronds and narrower leaf segments. P. 

 Billardieri has more coriaceous fronds and broader leaf lobes. Both 

 may have entire or compound fronds. In Baron von Mueller's 

 Census P. pustulatum and P. scandens are given. The former is. 

 hoAvever. a synonym to P. Billardieri. and P. scandens is a synonym 

 to the true P. pustulatum. In the National Park (Wilson's Promon- 

 tory) records, the Census was followed, and hence the above correc- 

 tion is necessarv.
