 side obliquely truncate at the base, the outer edge finely toothed ; texture sub- 

 coriaceous ; rachis and surfaces finely villose ; veins flabellate ; panicle 2-3 in. 1., 

 the peduncle slender, 3-4 in. 1. A. radicans, /3 Raddi, Fil. Bras. $.11. 



Hab. South Brazil. 



6. A. caudata, Kaulf. ; st. 6-9 in. 1., slightly villose ; barren segm. 8-12 in. 1., 

 often prolonged and rooting at the apex, 2 in. br. at the base, narrowed very gra- 

 dually upwards, with 20 or more pairs of close sessile subdimidiate pinnae, which 

 are J-l in. 1., -j- in.br., the point blunt, the edge finely toothed ; totare subcoriaceous; 

 rachis and surfaces finely pilose ; veins flabellate; panicle 2-3 in. 1., lax, on a 

 peduncle 3-5 in. 1. A. radicans, Raddi, Fil. Bras. t. 10. 



Hab. Brazil. 



7. A. mandioccana, Raddi ; st. 6-12 in. 1., deciduously villose ; barren segm. 

 1 ft. or more 1., 2-3^ in. br., oblong-lanceolate, the lower half about equal in 

 width ; pinnae in 20 or more close pairs, the point narrowed, but scarcely acute, 

 the edge finely serrulate, the base on the upper side parallel with the stem, on the 

 lower obliquely truncate ; texture subcoriaceous ; rachis and surfaces finely pilose ; 

 veins flabellate ; panicle very compound, 3-4 in. 1., with a peduncle longer than 

 itself. Raddi, t. 9. "ilk. G. F. t. 36 (non Gen. Fil. t. 90). 



Hab. Brazil. Very doubtfully distinct from the preceding. 



8. A. collina, Raddi ; st. 8-12 in. 1., firm, erect, densely clothed with fineferru- 



finous spreading hairs ; barren segm. sessile, 6-12 in. 1., 2-3 in. br., with about 

 2 sessile pinnae on each side, which are 1-1^ in. 1., - in. br., unequal-sided, 

 obliquely truncate below, blunt, subentire ; texture subcoriaceous ; rachis clothed 

 with hairs like the stem ; venation flabellate ; panicle 2-3 in. 1., close, the peduncle 

 4-6 in. 1. Raddi, Fil Bras. 1. 12. Hk. Fil. Ex. t.l. A. vellea, Schrad. A. hirta, 

 J. Sm. (non Sw.~). 



Hab. Brazil. This comes near to the two preceding, but the stem is densely ferru- 

 gineo-tomentose, and the pinnas are distant and less numerous. 



ft Barren segment subdeltoid. Sp. 9-12. 



9. A. glareosa, Gardner ; st. 4-5 in. ]., firm, erect, with adpressed ferruginous 

 hairs ; barren segm. sessile, under 2 in. 1., 1-1 J in. br., ovate-deltoid, with a ter- 

 minal lobe and 3-4 oblong \Auntpinnce ^ in. br. on each side, only the lowest pair, 

 which are sometimes lobed on the lower side at the base, reaching down to the 

 rachis ; texture subcoriaceous ; rachis and surfaces finely villose ; veins flabellate ; 

 panicle 3-4 in. 1., with dense short erecto-patent branches, the peduncle under 

 1 in. 1. Gard. Serf. PI. t. 70. A. Gardneriana, Presl. 



Hab. South Brazil, Gardner 4086, Burchell 6594-2. Most like oblongifolia in texture, 

 but the peduncle much shorter, and remarkable for the barren segment being truly 

 pinnate only at the base. 



10. A. Breuteliana, Presl ; st. 6-12 in. 1., slightly villose ; barren segm. sessile, 

 4-9 in. 1., 1^-4 in. br., subdeltoid, with 6-9 pairs of sessile pinnce, which are oblong, 

 obtuse, rather unequal-sided, entire or pinnatifid in the lower part, and grow 

 smaller gradually upwards ; texture subcoriaceous ; rachis and both sides nearly 

 naked ; panicle 2-4 in. 1., lax, the peduncles 3-6 in. 1. A. mandioccana, Hk.
