TUICIIOMANF.S. 1I!» 



sioii the same author emphns in his character of T. proltferuin, it is perliai)-* 

 very nearly allied to that species : and indeed under that (7". prnllferum) lie 

 remarks "u praecedeutibus {T. p'lrvttlum et T. uiinutum) differt lai-iniis pin- 

 nalifidis."

17. T. digitdtuin, S\v. ; caudex creeping hairy, fronds sti-

 gated the margins setose, involucres cuneato-cupsha])ed coni-

Hab. Mauritius and Bourbon, Bory^ Sieber, Telfair. Java, Blume. — 

 Blunic observes that the specimens of Java differ from the Mauritius ones 

 in the broader fronds with more numerous segments, which are again more 

 frequently bitid. Our specimens have the fronds with 2 — 4 segments, of 

 a (lurk lurid green color when dry.

Hab. Falkland Islands, D'Urville, Gaudichaxid. — :M. Bory dc St. Vin- 

 cent observes that "M. Gaudichaud detected this in the Falkland Islands 

 as well as M. D'Urville, but that he confounded it with his Hi/mennphi/l- 

 lum coEspitosum. We have not seen the fructification, but its resemblance 

 to T. sibthorpioides, nob. in Willd., induces us to refer the plant of M. d'Ur- 

 ville to this genus. Its stipes is filiform, simple, 5 — 6 lines high, ex- 

 panding into a small (labellate frond, wedge-shaped below, divided into 

 two small segments, which again are thrice forked, spreading, the apices 

 acute. It is ])rincipally this hitter character which distinguishes T. flabel- 

 lata from T. sibthorpioides. It grows in dense tufts and becomes black in 

 drying." Bori/. DUrville himself says of it, " extremitates subradicautes. 

 T. sibthorpioidi vicinum.'' 



19. T. cuspidatum, Willd.; "fronds ovate aciuninate ob- 

 tuse sti])itate, base sinuato-subtruncate coarsely crenate and 

 undulate." JVi/ld. Sp. PL v. p. 499. 



I lab. Bourl)on, Flugge. — " Stipes 4 lines long, compressed, clothed with 

 small paleaceous seta^. Frond an inch long or less, ovate or oblong, cune- 

 ate or truncate at the base, attenuated and obtuse at the apex, the margin 

 deeply and obtusely crenate, undulated, membranaceous, ncrvoso-veined, 

 soriferous towards the apex and at the margin."
