HYMENdDIUM. See Acroslichum. 



HYMEN6LEPIS. See Acrostichum 



HYMENOPHYLLUM (Greek, membrane-leaved). By- 

 menophyllAcece. A large genus of filmy ferns allied to 

 Trichomanes, but having a more or less deeply 2-lipped 

 or 2-valved involucre. Some 80 species are found in the 

 tropics of III, til hemispheres. One species appears in 

 wells in Eimhuid. 



lljliiii imi'li III linn demissum is a difficult plant to grow. 

 It needs a Wardian case in a coolhouse, and occasional 

 sprinkling overhead. The members of this genus are 

 propagated slowly by division. 



A. Lvs. glabrous: rachis slightly winged above. 



poIyAnthos, Swz. Lvs. 2-8 in. long, 1-3 in. wide, tri- 

 pinnatiad: sm-i 2-12 to a pinna; involucre small. Tropics 

 of both hemispheres. 



demissum, Swz. Lvs. 4-12 in. long, 3-4 in. wide, 3-4- 

 pinnatifid; sori very numerous, 20-30 to a pinna; invo- 

 lucre with ovate entire valves. E. Indies to New Zealand. 



AA. it's, pubescent or ciliate. 



cili&tum, Swz. Fig. 1116. Stalks ciliated and winged 

 above : lvs. 2-6 in. long, 1-2 in. wide, tripinnatifid, the 

 segments ciliated ; involucre roundish, the valves di- 

 vided half way down and ciliated. Tropics of both hem- 

 ispheres. 



aerugindsum, Carm. Fig. 1117. Stalks tomentose: lvs. 

 2-3 in. long, 1 in. or less wide, tripinnatifid, the pinnae 

 often imbricate, the surface and margins densely pu- 

 bescent ; involucres small, with valves divided nearly 

 to the base, densely ciliate. Tristan d'Acunha.
