 J in. broad. Veins anastomosing copiously. Fruit not seen. 

 Hort. Linden. 1859, 1861, said to come from Assam. Near 

 P. woodwardioides, Bory.

 glabrous : rachis weak, stramineous, naked. Lowest pinnae a 

 foot or more long, its lowest pinnules copiously compound, 

 with deeply pinnatifid lanceolate tertiary segments; final 

 segments contiguous, oblong, deeply toothed, | \ in. broad. 

 Veins forming 1-2 rows of areolae between the midrib and

82. P. tripartita, Sw. This dates from 1800 and is an older 

 name than P. marginata, Bory. Further material shows that 

 P. milneana, Baker, is probably a mere variety of this 

 species. 



85*. P. longibrachiata, Agardh. The full material recently sent 

 home from St. Vincent by Messrs. H. H. & G. W. Smith 

 shows that this is probably a distinct species.
