We had already represented the simple fronded state of 
this plant in the Icones Plantarum above quoted, and we now 
give the pinnat®d form of the same, which has, by some, been 
mistaken for a different species. We cannot agree with er 
Botanists who refer it to the genus Callipteris, of whic 
C. prolifera, Borry, is the type. Presl is quite mistaken = 
p- 92 of his Epimelia Botanica, in stating that Mr. J . Smith's 
Callipteris (or Oxygonium) ovata, is not the Asplenium ead 
of Wallich. The simple fronded state of the plant is identic 
with that, as is Diplazium cordifolium of Blume, which mre 
as the oldest published, we adopt. Some of our simple fronde 
specimens are nearly a foot long.
