14. H. cniciata, Desv. ; " piniiie opposite sessile linear-lan- 

 ceolate snbacuminate patent deeply cn'nate,\villi llie segments 

 somewhat imbricated incurved (obtusisque a)>ici latere acutius- 

 culis) obscurely toothed, costa and rachis naked, caudex ar- 

 borescent .? " Desr. in M^un. Soc. Linn. Par. v. ii. p. 5t21. 



Hab. Tropical America, (Drsvau.r). '•' Iiilormediatc between H. grandi- 

 folia and sprciosa,'' (an obtusa /"). The latter remark would lead one to 

 infer that //. oblum or //. (jrandifolia is liere intended ; but nothinfr can be 

 learned from the s])ecific cliaracier, a ])art of which, inserted above in a pa- 

 renthesis, is unintelligible to me. 



15. H. stif/mosa, Desv.; "fronds decompound? partial 

 ones pinnatifid, pinnules subpetiolate rather deeply pinnati- 

 fid decurrent, segments oblong obtuse entire stigmatose above 

 (supra stigmatosis) with a solitary sorus at the base, ])artial 

 rachis margined at the apex ferrugineo-})ilose beneath." /)e.sr.

Hab. Tropical America, {Desvaux). 



16. H. cyathoides, Desv.; "fronds decompound, partial 

 ones bi])innate, pinna; petiolate winged at the middle of the 

 rachis acuminately obtuse (acuminate obtusis), pinnules slight- 

 ly pinnatifid glabrous, the segments suboblong obtuse repan- 

 do-subdenticulate, sori on each side at the base of the segments 

 nearly solitary, rachis downy above." Desv. I. c. p. 321. 



Hab. Guiana, (Desvaux). " Segments nearly linear." 



17. II, cordata, Desv.; "pinnules lanceolate acimiinate 

 shortly petiolate repando-dentatc nearly cordate at the base 

 subauriculate serrated at the apex, sori in an uninterrupted 

 series near the costa, rachis purple-black glossy downy above, 

 caudex arboreous .'' " Desv. I. c. p. 32 1 . 



Hab. Madagascar, (Desvaux). " PinnEC a foot and a half long and more. 

 Pinnules nearh' 2 inches long, 4 — 5 lines wide." — This probably belongs to 

 some genus very different from Hemitelia. 



18. H. /flf <:•/;? i'a/a, Spreng. ; "herbaceous imarmed, frond su- 

 pr«-deconipound glabrous flaccid, leaflets oblong-lanceolate 

 obtuse repand, sori small rather remote in two rows." Spreny. 

 Si/st. Veget. v.'w.p. 126. " Poly podium laciniatum, For.«f^

Hab. New Hebrides, Forster. — This also has most likely nothing to do 

 with Hemitelia.
