* C. latum : rhizome stout, slowly creeping, with appressed ovate scales, 

 and bearing the fronds near together from its upper side; fronds simple, 

 smooth, rigid coriaceous, shining green, dotted with white above, elongate 

 lanceolate, repand, subundulate, marginate, 2-2J feet in length, 3-3 inches 

 wide, acute, but scarcely narrowed upwards, narrowed towards the base; 

 stipes stout, 3 inches long, continued as a thick costa throughout the frond, 

 prominent on both surfaces, broad and flattened above, rounded below ; veins 

 prominent oblique, united by irregularly angular transverse venules, from 

 the angles of which proceed 3-4 excurrent veinlets of which two bear sori, the 

 others being produced till they join the next venule : (sometimes the con- 

 nected veinlet is central, and forms a nearly straight line between the veins, 

 but more frequently there are two somewhat divergent which produces con- 

 siderable irregularity in the areoles) ; sori biserial, medial, the veins termina- 

 ting in a thickened head. This Fern is often cultivated under the name of 

 C. nitidum, but cannot be the plant of Kaulfuss. It is larger in every way 

 than any of the forms referred to C. Phyllitidis, though near to this plant as 

 figured by Plumier; and as it cannot be satisfactorily referred to any of the 

 publisKed species, it is here placed under a name which indicates one of its 

 chief peculiarities. The upper surface is marked with white dots, which 

 indicate the apices of the veinlets.
