* C, magnificum : fronds very large, pinnate glabrous ; pinnaa (? few) 18 

 inches long, 4 inches broad, oblong lanceolate, sessile, shortly and nearly 

 equally wedged-shaped at the base, sometimes enlarged about the centre on 

 the posterior side, acuminate at the apex, subrepand and slightly undulated, 

 papery hi texture ; costa stout, prominent on both surfaces, rounded beneath, 

 flattened with a shallow groove above; veins pinnate prominent, about j 

 of an inch apart, oblique, parallel, connected by parallel-curved cross venules 

 forming about 12 areoles between the costa and margin ; from the outer 

 side of these proceed about four short veinlets, bearing terminal sori ; upper 

 pinnae slightly ducurrent ; terminal pinna (incomplete) 5 inches broad, with 

 a short wedge-shaped base; sori hi about four rows between the primary 

 veins, the two outer series complete, the rest somewhat irregular, or in the 

 smaller pinnae not developed ; sterile venules with a capitate head. This 

 magnificent plant is allied to C. decurrent, found also in Venezuela by Mr. 

 Fendler (No. 231). C. decurrent varies with pinna 1-2 inches wide, and has 

 2-3 veinlets in the areoles. C. magnifcum is distinguished from it by its very 

 much larger size, which is quite remarkable, and by the different venation : 

 a series of four veinlets being produced hi each areole between the veins. 

 It is perhaps a small frond of this plant which is represented in Plunder's 

 tab. 114, the venation there indicated corresponding with that of the present 

 genus. The terminal pinna in a Brazilian specimen of our plant, quite corres- 

 ponds in its lower part, which only we have seen, with the figure above 

 referred to.
