llab. West Indies, frequent, and prol)ably tropical America "jenerally. Ciiiana, 

 Le Prinir. Brazil, Gardner, n. 105 and 5280. Guinea {JVilldenow ; but may 

 not this be an error for Guiana?). — Our tignres in Gen. V\\. very fairly represent 

 the ordinary state ; but it is very variable in the plane or concave or conduplicate 

 soriferous portion of the frond. 



9. M. (Pleurogramnie) immersa, Hook.; "fronds linear 

 curved rather obtuse thick (si)issis), veins pinnated simj)le 

 not extending to the margin terminated by a l)hick ])oint, 

 sori very long continuous costal occupying the middle por- 

 tion and more of the frond, capsules originating on the costa 

 ' cuticulam aperiejitibus et fissuram continuam longitudinalem 

 determinantibus,' the margins representing a ])ale-coloured 

 involucre, annulus with 10-11 joints, spores subrotund with 

 pressure subtrigonous." {Fee.) — Pleurogramme, Fee, V^itfur.

Ilab. French Guiana, Le Prieur, n. 126. Venezuela, Fendler, n. 353 ? Cuba .', 

 C. JVright. — I have no authentic specimens of this plant. Those from Fendler 

 and Wright (I don't find either of them noticed in Eaton's Fil. M'right. and Fendl.) 

 sufficiently accord with the figures of the natural size above quoted, but scarcely 

 so with Fee's magnified representation ; and they are too much like our preceding 

 species. Indeed I suspect Foe's specimens from Le Prieur (the authority for the 

 species recorded by Fee) are the same as those of Le Prieur in my herbarium, and 

 which I have referred to 3f. graviinifolia. 



10. M, (Pleurogramme) myrtiU{foJia, Fee; " caudex sur- 

 culiform creeping clothed with lanceolate entire scales, fronds 

 obovate thick entire glabrous attenuated into a short petiole, 

 veins pinnated indistuict forked slender not extending to the 

 margin, costa internal, sori abbreviated subapicular and in a 

 depressed portion of the frond, sporangia ovate, annulus 10- 

 12-articulate, spores thick rotund." Fee, Gen. Fil. p. 101. t.
