﻿TAB. XV. 



OSMUNDA VaCHELLII. 



Fronde pinnata basi fructificante, pinnis lineari-lanceolatis 

 coriaceis ubique integerrimis. 



H. 



Hab. Lappas Island, China. 



A very beautiful species of Osmmda, allied to the O. Java- 

 nica of Biurae, of which latter I possess specimens gathered in 

 Ceylon by Colonel Walker. From that species it differs in the 

 pmnae being always quite entire and the lower (not the middle) 

 ones bearing the fructifications.
