Caledonia, C. Moore, Esq. 
A very distinct species of Asplenium, which will assuredly 
rank in habit and structure with the Darea group, which 
is usually acknowledged to be inseparable, generically, from 
true Asplenium. 
The present species is remarkable in the length and narrow- 
ness of the segments of the frond. Of the ultimate segments 
nearly the whole of one side of the costa is often occupied by 
the sorus: so that the species cannot well be confounded 
with any other of the genus.
