ANEMIA GARDNERI, 
Fronde pinnata glabra, pinnis cordato-rotundati latis| 
petiolatis pulcherrime radiatim striatis, pedunculis binis ad 
basin frondis, spiculis paniculatis. 
Has. Brazil. Mr. Gardner, (n. 4). 
Caudex repens (?) pilis longis sericeo-aureis densissime tectus. 
Stipes digitalis, erectus. Frons longitudine stipitis, impari- 
pinnata, glabra, pinnis subdecem, alternis, unciam longis, 
orbiculari-cordatis, brevi-petiolatis, crenulatis, pulcherrime 
striatis, striis e basi radiantibus, supra subconvexis, viridibus, 
subtus paululum concavis, pallidis. Peduneuli bini e basi 
frondis ejusdemque longitudinis, superne paniculati. Caps 
numerose, in spiculas congestz. 
A species quite distinct from any that I have ever seen or found 
described, and which I wish should bear the name of its dis- 
coverer, who is most zealously engaged in investigating the 
Botany of South America. The radiated striz and the rounded 
form of the pinne in this species are highly remarkable.
