Caudice repente squamoso, frondibus longe stipitatis, sterilibus 
lato-lanceolatis integris v. ovato-lanceolatis profunde pinnati- 
fidis, laciniis utrinque 2-3 late ovato-lanceolatis terminali 
longiore omnibus acuminatis marginatis integerrimis, venis 
approximatis fere horizontalibus bi-trifurcatis parallelis apici- 
bus liberis clavatis, fertilibus pinnatifidis laciniis lineari-

Allied to the Brazilian Acrostichum heterophyllum, Raddi, so — 
far as the barren fronds are concerned, which are the only ones 
figured by that author; yet very distinct in the much longer 
stipes, more coriaceous frond, closer and less distinct veins, 
and broader and fewer segments. The sterile and fertile fronds, 
as will be seen by our figure, are extremely different. They have 
been detected by Mr. Colenso as much as 3 feet long. J, D. H.
