Hab. Shady clefts on the hills near the city of Oeira, Brazil, Gardner, n. 2390. 

 — A very peculiar and well-marked Fern, found by no one, that we know of, ex- 

 cept Mr. Gardner, in the locality above mentioned. 



149. P. (Eupoly podium) grammitidis, Br. ; caudex small 

 suberect clothed with pale-brown scales, stipites aggregated 

 1-2 inches long glabrous as in the whole plant, fronds 3-6-8 

 inches long coriaceous 1-2 inches broad pale brownish-green 

 (as well as the stipes) when dry lanceolate or broad-lanceolate 

 acuminate sometimes caudate attenuated below and decurrent 

 upon the stipes deeply almost to the rachis pinnate, the upper 

 half more or less bipinnatifid, segments often very unequal in 

 length linear entire \\ line wide, lower ones obtuse entire, 

 superior ones generally pinnatifid with unequal subtriangular 

 or oblong lobes or teeth, all of them decurrent distant often 

 an inch apart, costule and veins immersed, the latter simple 

 or forked, sori oblique at the !)ase of each tooth oval rarely 

 subrotund, when quite young oblong. — Br. Prodr. Fl. Nov.

Hab. On trees, Tasmania, Labillardiere, and others. New Zealand, Menzies, 

 All. Cunningham, etc.; Northern Island, to the extreme south, and in Lord Auck- 

 land and Campbell's Islands, /. Z». Hooker. — The figure of Labillardiere scarcely 

 represents the fronds so truly bipinnatifid as they generally are. It is remarkable 

 that this species has not yet been detected in Australia proper. 



150. P. (Eupoly podium) /)^/^;?e5, Hook. ; caudex indistinct 

 apparently rather stout erect or ascending densely clothed 

 with the numerous crowded subflexuose stipites 3-4 inches 

 long below densely villous with copious patent bright fer- 

 ruginous hairs, fronds subcoriaceous glabrous or glanduloso- 

 pubescent 4 inches to nearly a foot long 2-4 inches wide 

 pendulous broad-lanceolate or ovate moderately acuminate 

 with the base attenuated deeply and almost to the rachis 

 pinnatifid or equally deeply bipinnatifid, the segments nume- 

 rous often crowded linear- elongated varying much from 1-3 

 inches long and very irregular subfalcate acuminate shortly 

 lobato-pinnatifid, costule and veinlets sunk in the substance 

 of the segments, veins simple erecto-patent one to each
