Cespitosum parce deciduo-squamulosum membranaceum, fron-

Has. On trees in forests at Tanaii, and other places near 
‘Paré, Amazon River, Spruce, n. 18. 
An unusually narrow and elongated simple-fronded species 
of Asplenium, of a very membranaceous texture, pale and 
bright green colour, remarkably and gradually acuminated at 
the apex, and no less attenuated at the base. It belongs to 
the same group as Aspi. serratum, along with our Aspl. Grif- 
fithianum (v. Tab. 928); and is easily distinguished by the 
above characters.
