No one, at first sight, would believe the barren fronds of the 
two plants which constitute the genus Coptophyllum, to belong 
to the tribe of Ferns, resembling, as they do, much more the 
leaves of some species of Umbellifere. The developement of 
parenchyma is here nearly reduced to its minimum, and conse- 
quently the dichotomous venation of the leaf is most beauti- 
fully and distinctly exhibited.—G. Gardner.
