We would gladly, if we could, with propriety, have kept 
the European Gymnogramme distinct, as M. Cosson has done, ; | 
from the Australian G. rutefolia. But the utmost we can 
make of it is a variety, of a thinner texture and greener 
colour. It is, however, a remarkable fact, that a Fern com- 
mon enough in Australia, to which country it was, till now, 
supposed to be peculiar, should prove to be an inhabitant of : 
the elevated Sierras in the South of Spain! —We are also | 
satisfied that we do right in uniting our Gymnogramme sub- : 
glandulosa with the present species.
