Hab. East Coast, Colenso. Otago, Lyall. Auckland Islands, Tumiv.ll. (Native of South Africa ?) 

 This is only to be known from R. Palmetto, by the apiculated conceptaoles, scattered over the latinise. The 

 first specimens we received were without fruit, and we mistook them. Mr. Colenso has recently sent us fruiting spe- 

 cimens. The sori of tetraspores are terminal, as in B. Palmetto,, and the individuals that bear them are broader and 

 less compound than the others. 



7. Bhodymenia prolifera, Harv. ; stipite brevi mox in basi cuneata frondis desinente, lamina dichotoma, 

 laciniis patentibus linearibus vel subcuneatis parum divisis apice proliferis, foliolis linearibus subacutis basi 

 attenuatis simplicibus vel furcatis SEepe pedicellatis, cystocarpiis henhspheericis sparsis, soris indefinitis ab 

 apice attenuato remotis. 



Hab. Hawke's Bay, Colenso. 



Allied to P. linearis, but larger, of thicker substance, with differently placed tetraspores and generally prolife- 

 rous ; the foliations stipitate, simple or forked. Frond 4-8 inches long, distantly forked ; the axils rounded ; the 

 latinise from J inch to nearly 1 inch wide in the widest part. Colour, when dry, a dull brownish-red.

 of Spain, South of England, South of Ireland, Keys of Florida and California.) 



Splendid specimens, with both kinds of fruit.

Hab. East Coast, Colenso, Lyall. (Native of Cape of Good Hope, and Antarctic shores.) 



Dr, Lyall's specimens have narrower and less divided segments than usual, some of them narrowed to an obtuse 

 point ; but we have Cape of Good Hope individuals nearly similar. 



2. Epymenia acuta, Harv. ; fronde basi cuneata alte et valide costata flabelliformi pluries dichotoma, 

 laciniis patentibus lato-linearibus apice attenuatis subacutis. 



Hab. Akaroa, Lyall. 



Frond 5-6 inches high, flabelliform, subfastigiate, cuneate at the base, repeatedly dichotomous, with a strong 

 rib, which branches at the principal lobes, one branch running up each segment, and vanishing about the middle. 

 Segments patent, i-i inch broad, linear, the ultimate ones attenuate to an acute or subobtuse point. — Possibly only 

 a variety of E. oblusa, but a smaller and more strongly ribbed plant.
