Hab. New Zealand, Xortheni Island, Dwperrcy, All. Cunningham, Mr. 

 Colenso, J. D. Hooker. — The figure in Uupeirey well represents our fonn, 

 but the specimens are generally much more truly bipinnate, sometimes al- 

 most to the apex, more frequently in the lower portion of the frond. Dr. 

 Hooker suspects, and with some justice, that the species is only a simpler 

 form of the following, though intermediate states are rare. 



44. L. trichomanoidefi. Dry. ; caudex filiform creeping 

 scaly, stipes tetragonal filiform, frond (small) broad lanceo- 

 late membranaceous bipinnate sub-tripinnate, pinnules cu- 

 neate decurrent entire or lobed toothed, sori intramarginal at 

 the apex of the lobes and occupying their whole breadth. —

 Cunningham, Mr. Colenso, .7. D Hooker, Dr. Sinclair. — Larger than the 

 preceding (sometimes nearly a foot high, including the stipes), and much 

 more compound, bipinnate and even tripinnate, seginents and pinnules all 

 wedge-shaped, confluent. 



45. Ij. microphylla, Sw.; stipites short caespitose, frond elon- 

 gated oblong-lanceolate tripinnate, primary pinnae distant, 

 pinnules small broad cuneate toothed simple orbi-trifid, sori 

 intramarginal, involucres toothed scarcely extending to the 

 margins.— .S/^. Syn. Fil. p. 120. and 319. Willd. Sp. PL v.

Hab. New Holland, about Port Jackson, abundant. Sieb. Syn. Fil. n. 

 117 ; Brisbane River, All. Cunningham. — A distinct and well marked 

 species, with all the pinnules small and cuneate tapering into a kind 

 of petiole : rachis flexuose. 



46. L. tenuis, Kl. ; " fronds bipinnate slender decumbent, 

 stipes very slender chestnut-coloured shining and as well as 

 the rachis flexuose somewhat twisted grooved above convex 

 beneath, pinnae distant altei-nate and opposite linear atte- 

 nuated at the apex erecto-patent, pinnules minute distant ob- 

 liquely ovate patent shortly petiolate the anterior margin ob- 

 lique, superior one lobed or sinuato-crenate, lower margin 

 convex, sori interrupted below the superior margin."
