 from the margin in the sterile IVoudis. 



Obs. Some species of Lindsaa that have been supposed to be sim|)ly 

 pinnate and described as such, for example L. strlcta^ L.falcata, will be 

 found among the compound ones; and others, with reticulated veins, .among 

 the Schizoloina grouj).

Hab. Woods, Bourbon, i^rny, C JFj/W.j. — This seems to be only known 

 to M. Bory and to \Villdenow, the latter of whom, after a meagre descrip-
