OLD WORLD SPECIES. 



16*. H. brunoniana, Clarke, in Trans. Linn. Soc. ser 2, Bot. I, 

 430,=Ampfa'cosmt'a brunoniana, Beddome. India orientalis. 

 Included under Alsophila coniaminans, in Syn. Fil. p. 41. 



16*. H. decipiens, J. Scott, East Himalayas = Cyaihea decipiens, 

 Clarke & Baker, in Journ. Linn. Soc. XXIV, 409, and the
