SPECIES EILICUM, 



SuBORD. IX.— POLYPODIE.E. Gen. I. Polypodium, 

 continued from Vol. IV. 



All the following species of the Genus have the veins more or less anastomosing, 

 and may be called DictyopteridEvE. They may be divided into tfie follotving 

 Sections or Subgenera, irhich by many are considered distinct genera : — 



§ 3. Goniopteris, Sp. 224-249. § 9. Kiphobolus, Sp. 298-320. 



§ 4. Cvrtomiphlebiiim, Sp. 250. § 10. Phymatodes (including Leca- 



§ 5. Phlebodium, Sp. 251-253. liopteris, Bl), Sp. 321-389. 



§ 6. Goniophlehium, Sp. 254-282. § 11. Drvnaria, Sp. 390-398. 



§ 7. Craspedaria, Sp. 283-290. § 12. Dipteris, Sp. 399-401. 



§ 8. Campyloneurum, Sp. 291-297. § 13. Dictyopteiis, Sp. 402-409. 



§ 3. Goniopteris. — Costules or primary veins pinnate, secondary ones or vein- 

 lets having one (the loiver one) or more pairs angidarly connlvent, and from those 

 united ones producing an ercurrent veinlet which is either free or it unites with 

 the angles above, thus forming as it were a more or less distinct pseudocostule, 

 which often reaches to a sinus. Goniopteris, Pr., and others. — Tliis corresponds 

 with § Eunephrodium among Nephrodium. The species are mostly tropical, with 

 generally pinnated fronds. In some cases this group is not easily distinguished 

 from Meniscium. Sp. 224-249. 



* Fronds simple, entire or sinuato-lobate, or only and rareli/ pinnate at the base. 

 Sp. 224-220. 



224. P. (Goniopteris) crispatwn, Hook, {vix Linn.?) ; cau- 

 dex moderately stout oblique clothed with ferruginous scales, 

 stipites tufted filiform 1-4 inches long hispid with long 

 spreading fulvous hairs, fronds 5 inches to a foot long linear- 

 lanceolate subsucculent pendulous obtusely acuminate more 

 or less deeply lobato-pinnatifid with rounded or rarely ob- 

 tusely trigonal lobes ciliated with fulvous hairs, costa flexu- 

 ose, primary veins also fiexuose one to each lobe pinnatedly 

 twice or thrice branched, veinlets connivent or free, sori dor- 

 sal on the veinlets small oval sunk in cavities of the frond 

 about 6 to each lobe in 2 series remote from the margin. — 

 CtcEnopteris (Glyphoteenium) crispatum, /. Sm. in Seem. Bat.
