65. ANEMIA, COPTOPHYLLUM. V I^I~\J^J 435 



distinct to the apex, the veinlets oblique, slightly joining ; panicle 1-2 in. 1., the 

 peduncle 1-4 in. 1. Mart. Ic. t. 58. A. diversifolia and Vespertilio, Schrad. 



Hab. South Brazil. With this we are not acquainted. The description is compiled 

 principally from Martius. 



21. A. (Anemid.) Pfyltitidis, Sw. ; st. 6-18 in. 1., stramineous, naked or fibril- 

 lose ; barren segm. sessile, 4-12 in. 1., 2-8 in. br., ovate-oblong, simply pinnate; 

 pinnae in 4-12 sessile pairs, the lowest the largest, ovate, 1-6 in. 1., -2 in. br., the 

 apex acute, the edge crenulate, the base rounded or cuneate or unequal ; texture 

 subcoriaceous ; main vein distinct to the apex, the veinlets oblique, forming 

 numerous long narrow areolse ; rachises naked or pilose ; panicle dense, 3-9 in. 1., 

 the branches short, the peduncle 3-8 in. 1. Plum. t. 156. Raddi, Fil. Bras.t. 8. 



Hab. Cuba and Mexico to Peru and South Brazil. "We appear to include here eight 

 species of Sturm, of which A. obliqua and aorbifolia, Schrad., A. fraxinifolia, Raddi, and 

 A. macrophylla, have the terminal pinna more or less joined to those below, whilst in 

 his A. Phyllitidis, lonyifolia, Link, and densa, Raddi, it is distinctly separated. A. loci- 

 niata, Link, has the lower pinnae iuciso-lobate. Villose forms of this are often labelled 

 A. hirta, Sw. ; but that synonym appears to belong properly to our A. Breuteliana. 



Coptophyllum, Gardn. Barren and fertile fronds distinct. Sp. 22-26. 



22. A. (Copt.) aurita, Sw. ; st. of the barren frond 2-3 in. L, firm, erect, 

 slightly pilose ; barren fr. 3-6 in. 1., l|-2 in. br., oblong-deltoid, bipinnate, the 

 lower pinnae the largest, stalked, simple, or with 1 or 2 roundish sessile entire 

 or slightly toothed pinnl. on each side ; texture coriaceous ; surface glossy ; veins 

 finely channelled, flabellate ; panicle 2-3 in. 1., interrupted, the lower branches 

 short, the st. 6-8 in. 1. Hk. Ic. t. 903. 



Hab. Jamaica. 



23. A. (Copt.) Wrightii, Baker ; st. of barren frond 1-5 in. 1., slender, naked, 

 stramineous ; barren fr. 2-3 in. ]., 1 in. br., subdeltoid, tripinnatifid ; pinnae few^ 

 distant, the lower ones deltoid, the upper pinnules cuneate, simple, in. br., the 

 lower ones deeply cleft from the circumference inwards ; texture subcoriaceous ; 

 rachis and surfaces naked ; veins flabellate ; panicle 2-3 in. 1., very lax and few- 

 branched, stem 8-12 in. 1. 



Hab. Cuba, Wright 1812. Inhabit not unlike A. cuneata, or a small slender form of 



adiantifolia. 



24. A. (Copt.) bipinnata, Moore ; st. of barren frond 1-2 in. 1., slender, naked ; 

 barren fr. 2-3 in. 1., f-1 in. br., oblong-deltoid, tripinnatifid ; lower pinnae the 

 largest, subdeltoid, with cuneate pinnatifid pinnl.; texture subcoriaceous; veins 

 flabeliate ; rachis and surfaces slightly hairy ; panicle lax, close, elongated, the 

 st. slender, 2-3 in. 1. Osmunda, Linn. Herb. A. cicutaria, Kze. Anal. Pter. 

 9. t. 5. 



Hab. Bahamas and West Indies. The figure of Plumier which Liaraeus quotes is 

 evidently Osmunda cinnamomea. 



25. A. (Copt.) dichotoma, Gardn.; st. of barren frond densely tufted, firm, 

 erect, slender, naked ; barren fr. 1-2 in. 1., about 1 in. br., oblong, tripinnate, 

 the segments filiform, dichotomously forked, the divisions 2-3 lin. 1. ; texture 

 subcoriaceous ; surfaces and rachis naked ; panicle 2-3 in. 1., the lower branches 

 elongated, the st. '3-4 in. 1. Sturm, in Mart. Fl. Bras. fasc. 23. fig. 16. t. 4. 

 Copt, buniifolium, Gard, Hk. Ic. t. 477. 



Hab. Brazil. .4. tenuifolia, Presl (Sturm, 1. c. t. 16. f. 2), is probably a smaller and 

 more slender form of this species. Leaf in cutting resembling that of Buniumflezuosum, 

 the divisions much longer and fewer than in the next.
