Has. Java; Thunberg, Blume, Chas. Millett, Esq. 
A very well marked Aspidium, of the Nephrolepis group, or 
genus in the opinion of Pres! and some authors. On the autho- 
rity of Thunberg, Swartz gives it as an inhabitant of India, as 
Well as of Java; but I have never seen specimens save from | 
this latter country, and they were, with many other fine ferns, _ 
kindly given to me by Mr Millett. Swartz justly says of it, 
* Filix omnium Aspidiorum maxime singularis, cujus ones ad 
apicem laciniarum frondis rotundatum, concaviusculum, indasio- a 
quasi duplici tecti, Davallie et Dicksonie speciem referunt.”
