 S. AlYicii, Dregc. — Apparently a general inhabitant of the East Indies ; 

 strangely conloundcd with our Irish T. radicatis {llipncnopln/Uuin alatum, 

 Sni.) by vSelikuhr, and little understood by botanists in general. Frond 2 

 — 4 or 5 inehes high, more or less dense in its ramilications or divisions, al- 

 ways very opaque, when dry of a dingy brownish or olive green, the lips of 

 the sunk iuvolueres singularly large and tapering to a rather aeute point. 



35. T. radicans, Sw. ; caudex very long more or less to- 

 tncntose, fronds ovate or oblong acnniinate erect rather firm 

 membranaceous hi-tri-quadripinnatifid dark green and opaque 

 (when dry) primary divisions ovate or lanceolate cuneate at 

 tlie base, the segments linear-oblong rather short obtuse emar- 

 ginate or bifid, involucres supraaxillary cylindrical tapering 

 below sunk in the more or less narrow short segments and 

 hence more or less winged at the sides, the mouth scarcely 

 spreading imperfectly or shortly 2-lipped sometimes wider 

 than the tube, receptacles (when perfect) filiform many times 

 longer than the tube, stipes short or long tereti-compressed 

 winged nearly to the base sometimes broadly so. — Stv. Fl.
