ADDITION. 



In looking over the colledions of plants made in the South Sea 

 Iflands by Mr. Menzies, I found a fern, which at the firft appear- 

 ance I took for a Trichomancs, according to the Linnaean divifion of 

 ferns, or Davalliaf in Dr. Smith's arrangement ; but, on clofer in- 

 fpe£lion, it evidently belonged to the genus of Lindfaa : and to com- 

 plete my account of this genus, as far as it is hitherto known to 

 me, I take the liberty to add this fpecies, in fending this paper to 

 the prefs.

 //a^/Vtf/ in Nova Zelandia : Dufky Bay. Archibald Men%ies. 

 Radix repens. Stipites brunnei, digitales. Frons ftipite paulo 

 longior, oblonga : Pinnula infimas incifae. FruSlificationes intra 

 marginem. 

 In an advanced flate of the fruftification, the membrane which 

 covers the capfules, fometimes fplits into two or three parts, and 

 has then an appearance of Davallia ; but in the earlier ftage of 

 the frudification, the continued membrane oi Lindfeca is the more 

 evident, as the infcrtion of it is marked by a brown line acrofs 

 the whole breadth of the pinnula.
