 The flalks are naked, fix inches above the root, 

 not totally fmooth, but have a fev/ filmy brown 

 fcales. The leaves, meafured with the flalks^ 

 are about a foot high, foft, covered with a flight 

 villofity, and doubly pinnatifid. The loweft 

 pair of prinriary pinme is deflex'd, the next pair 

 is horizontal, and may be confidcred as the bafe 

 of a triangle, v»'ith refped to the out-line of the 

 fuperior part of the leaf. Each pair of primary 

 pinnie is conneded at the middle rib by the loweft 

 pair of fecondary pinnules on each fide, fo that 

 the union refemblcs a quadrangular ^/««^. The 

 fecondary pinnules are lartceolate, flightly fal- 

 cated and obtufe, not divided quite to the 

 nerve, nor altogether entire on the edges, fof 

 thofe upon the lower pair o{ pinn<sg are ferrated. 

 < The fructifications are difpofed in fmall pale 



brown dots, in two rows, near the edges of the 

 pinnules.
