1016 FILICES. [Gynunogramme. 
1. G. rutezfolia, Hook. and Grev. Ic. Fil. t. 90.—Rhizome short, 
thick, erect or ascending, clothed with blackish-brown lanceolate 
scales. Stipes +-lin. long, stout or slender, everywhere densely 
villous with soft ferruginous woolly often glandular hairs. Fronds 
1-3 in. long by about din. broad, linear-oblong, obtuse, subcoria- 
ceous, pinnate; both surfaces densely clothed with soft ferrugi- 
nous or silvery-brown woolly hairs, many of which are glandular- 
tipped. Pinne alternate, rather distant, {-}in. long, obovate or 
rhomboid or flabellate, shortly stipitate and obliquely cuneate at 
the base, the lowermost with 2-3 shallow lobes or rarely pinnatifid. 
Veins flabellate. Sori linear-oblong, occupying most of the veins of 
the under-suriace, distinct at first, but often confluent in age.—Hook.

Also widely distributed in Australia and Tasmania. It is united by most 
authors to the Kuropean G. Pozot, which, however, seems to me to differ in the 
more slender habit, in being much less densely villous, the hairs seldom 
glandular, and in the narrower oblong (not obovate or flabellate) pinne. 
2. G. leptophylla, Desv. Journ. Bot. i. 26.—Slender, delicate, 
annual, 1-6in. high. Roots fibrous. Stipes $-3in. long, slender, 
brittle, smooth, glossy, bright chestnut- brown. Fronds 1-3in. 
long, 4—-1in. broad, ovate or ovate-oblong to oblong-lanceolate ; the 
outer spreading, much shorter and broader, usually sterile; the 
inner longer and narrower, fertile, erect; pale-green, shining, thin 
and membranous, quite glabrous, 2-3-pinnate. Pinne alternate, 
stipitate, +4in. long, again pinnate; secondary rhachises mar- 
gined throughout. Pinnules few, obovate-cuneate, 2—-3-lobed or 
-partite; lobes linear or linear-oblong, obtuse. Veins forked, a 
single veinlet only to each lobe. Sori oblong or linear-oblong, 
usually a single one to each lobe, often becoming confluent and 
covering the whole pinnule—-Hook. and Grev. Ic. Fil. t. 25; Sp.
