 T. anceps Hook., Sp. Fil., vol. 1, p. 135, pi. xl C. 



This species, which is not credited to the Central American 

 region by any of the works at hand, was found sparingly in 

 the vicinity of Camp Menocal, growing in tufts in rich soil in 

 deep woods. The fronds have a peculiar coppery or olive 

 green color which changes to nearly black upon drying. 



Our specimens agree exactly with L'Herminier's collection 

 from Guadaloupe. 1
