to the pinnules, but with the exception of the central vein, their full course 

 is seldom traceable. 



This species is closely related to Sphenopteris chcerophylloides, Brongt. sp., 

 and in the specimen from Camerton, some of the pinnules on the lower part 

 of the frond are more deeply segmented than in the enlarged drawing of 

 Sphenopteris cristata. In fact, this example is somewhat intermediate in its 

 character between S. cristata and S.

Remarks. The fossil figured under the name of Sphenopteris Hoeninghausi 

 by Lindley & Hutton (Fossil Flora) is a different species from that to which 

 Brongniart applied the name. The type of Sphenopteris Hceninghausi, 

 L. & H. (non Brongt.), is preserved in the "Hutton Collection," Newcastle-on- 

 Tyne, and to distinguish it from Brongniart's plant, I propose for it the 

 name of Sphenopteris effusa.
