 — A variable species in the breadth and length and general shape of the fronds, 

 and with a venation which certainly departs from that of true Campyloneuron 

 and partakes of that of Goniophlebium. 



296. P. (Campyloneuron) sphenodes, Kze. ; caudex long- 

 creeping slender almost filiform squarrose with deciduous 

 paleaceous scales, stipites distant slender stramineous 3-6 

 inches long, frond coriaceo-submembranaceous glabrous very 

 minutely pellucido-punctate 3-8 inches long 1 to nearly 3 

 inches broad eUiptico-oval or subovate long and finely sud- 

 denly cuspidato-acuminate the margins thickened callous the 

 cuneate base entire or repand, primary veins costuliform ap- 

 proximate straight slightly elevated beneath, areoles 6-8-se- 

 riate rather longer than they are broad including two sori- 

 ferous venules, sori small in two series between the costu- 

 lar veins (Tab. CCLXXXIL). — Kze. and Kl. in Lifincea, xx.
