327. P. (Phymatodes) Schraderi, Metten. ; caudex creep- 

 ing paleaceous with blackish subulate scales, stipites aggre- 

 gated short scarcely more than | an inch long, fronds glabrous 

 2^-4-5 inches long \ an inch or little more wide lanceolate 

 obtusely acuminate tapering gradually into the stipes black- 

 ish when dry entire, veins immersed obscure reticulated 

 somewhat uniformly, areoles here and there including free 

 veinlets, sori impressed very large globose or suboval promi- 

 nent approximate few in two series one on each side of and 

 very near the costa occupying the upper portion of the frond.

 n. 171. — Either this is a rare species or I liave been peculiarly unfortunate in 

 having received specimens only from M'Ken and Drege. These certainly well 

 accord with Schlechtendal's figure ; but what the. nature of the frond allows mo 

 to see of the venation does not correspond with that represented by Mettenius, 

 where the areoles are less elongated (longitudinally) and the free included veinlets 

 more frequent. 



328. p. (Phymatodes) suhccostatum, Hook. ; caudex long 

 creeping partially paleaceous with black subulate scales and 

 densely woolly (as well as the copious roots) with dark- 

 brown tomentum, fronds sparse sessile 4-7 inches long h an 

 inch wide pale-green carnoso-coriaceous very ojiaque linear- 

 ensiform acuminated entire glabrous moderately tapering at 

 the base, costa internal very indistinct, costules none, vena- 

 tion immersed and scarcely visible but the veins (I think) 

 anastomosing so as to form uniform elongated areoles parallel 

 with the costa without any free included veinlets, sori mode- 

 rately large subglobose forming a single series close to the 

 margin chiefly occupying the upper half of the frond. — Tab.

 has much the aspect of our /*. Cnnnivijhami of New Zealand, and even the ve-
