Hah. Mexico, Andrieux, Liebniann ; Sierra Madre, West Mexico, Ssemann, n. 

 1987 ; Guatemala, Skinner. — A specimen I possess from Dr. Meissner, gathered 

 by Dr. Miiller at Orizaba, resembles this in every respect except that the venation 

 anastomoses, there being exactly the same differences as between Pelleea geranii- 

 folia and Pteris (Litohrochia) pedafa among the Pteridea, and between Gym- 

 nogramme Javanica, Blurae, and G. (Dictyoyramme) Japonica among Grammi' 

 tidecE, to which latter section (Bic/yogramme) 1 therefore refer the Orizaba 

 plant. 



14. G. (Eugymnogramme) decipiens, Metten.; caudex 

 creeping underground, stipites approximate terete 6-10 inches 

 long subhispid at the base purplish-black as well as the rachis, 

 fronds firm-membranaceous 6-8 inches long 2-2| inches 

 broad oblong acuminate pinnated rarely subbipinnate below, 

 pinnee 1-H inch long suberecto-patent subtrapezoideo-oblong 

 obtuse obliquely cuneate and petiolate at the base subauricu- 

 late and truncated at the superior base inciso-pinnatifid. lobes 

 acute entire or bifid, costa excentric veniform, veins forked, 

 sori linear-oblong one or two on each lobe, capsules mixed 

 with hairs. (Tab. CCXCI.) — Metten. in Ann. Sc. Nat. ser. 4.

Hab. Aneiteum, New Hebrides, C. Moore, Milne, and M'Gillivray, in woods, 

 abundant. New Ireland, VieiUard. — A very remarkable Gymnogramme, unlike 

 any other species known to me, but, according to Mettenius, allied to liis G. mar- 

 ginata (with simple fronds, see Sp. n. 3) " in the glabrous fronds and the numerous 

 paraphyses mixed with the capsules." 



15. G. (Eugymnogramme) as/:'/e?2?oi(/e.9, Klfs. ; caudex very 

 stout in old plants erect or ascending clothed with the re- 

 mains of former years' stipites, stipites terminal tufted 1-2 

 inches to a span or more long sparsely paleaceous hirsuto- 

 puljescent as is more or less the whole plant, fronds 3 inches 

 to 1 foot long 1-4 inches broad lanceolate acuminate atte- 

 nuate at the base pinnate deeply pinnatifid at the extremity 

 except at the apex which is entire, pinnre 1-2 inches long 

 patent sessile from a nearly truncated broad base subauricled 

 above and below linear-oblong acuminate entire at the base, 

 the rest coarsely serrato-pinnatifid, veins pinnated, veinlets 

 soriferous near their apices, sori short oblong of few lax cap- 

 sules. — G. asplenioides, Sw. in Stock/i. Handl. 1817- p. 56.
