subcostal irregular, costa and partial racliis hairy and rough 

 above glabrous beneatli." Kze. I. c. p. 100. 



Hab. ^Mountains near Pnmjiayaco, Cerro de Cristohal, Peru, Peeppiff. — 

 This is only taken up l)y Kunze, who speaks of it as very different from any 

 previously described species. 



15. C. resfifa, Mart. ; " frond bijiinnate, stipes and rachis 

 shortl}' and acutely aculeated, partial rachis and nerves with 

 rusty liairs, pinnules pubescenti-villous beneatli linear-acu- 

 minate dee])ly pinnatifid, the segments falcato-lanceolate 

 rather acute crenulate with 6 — 10 sori in each." Mart. I. c. 

 p. 75, /. 52. 



Hab. Brazil. Woods of the Province of St. Sebastian and St. Paul, 

 Martius. Serra dos Piloes, Pohl. Serra de Araripe, Gardner, n. 1907. — 

 INIartius compares this with C. acnlcata, AVilld. and Kaulf., but observes 

 that it is different, especially in the more acuminated segments. Mr. Gard- 

 ner's plant above quoted, which agrees with this, has a caudex 20 — 30 feet 

 liigh, and an involucre veiy thin, membranaceous and brittle. 



10. C. hirtula, Mart.; "frond bipinnate, stipes sharply acu- 

 leate and tlie rachis with brownish hairs and sparingly ])a- 

 leaceous, pinnules on each side slightly pubescenti-hirsiite 

 linear acute pinnatifid, the segments ovato-lanceolate rather 

 obtuse subcrenulate or entire, sori in each segment lew situ- 

 ated at the base." Mart. I. c. p. 76, t. 53. 



Hab. Serro do Mar, Province of Bahia, Brazil, Prince de Nemcied. — 

 Martius notices the affinity of this to his C. Grevilleana {Ic. PI. Bras. p. 78) 

 from Jamaica, but the latter " diff'crs in the larger and more spavingly pu- 

 bescent fronds, in the rachis and nerves not patenti-hirsute but strigillose 

 in the acuminated pinnules, in the lower segments being distinct, and in 

 the more numerous sori.'' 



17. C. Schfniscliin, Mart.; "frond bipinnate, stipes and ra- 

 chis sharply aculeated and Avith the rachis and nerves strigoso- 

 villous, pinnules downy linear cuspidato-acuminate pinnatifid, 

 segments linear-oblong obli(|uely rotundate subcrenulate, sori 

 — 10 in each segment." Mart. I. c. p. 77, t. 54. C oligo-

Hab. Throughout a great portion of Brazil, perhaps universal in that 

 country, especially in the provinces of St. Paul and ^linas, Martius, Sel-

 of C. Schanschin I'rom the Royal Berlin herbarium, gathered by Sellow ; 

 and from Poejipig of his C oligucarpa, showing that the two are identicall 

 It seems a widely extended species, not jxjssessing indeed any very peculiar
