win2;ecl petiole 5-7-lobed, lobes cuneate forked or entire 

 ultimate divisions obtuse, veins flabellato-dicbotonious, sori 

 linear-oblong occuj)ying the forked veins of the pinnules 

 yellowish.— //oo^. in Journ. of BoL 1834. i. p. 61. t. 120.

Hah. Ecuador, Siirruciicho, near Cuenca, alt, 9000 feet, on the ground amongst 

 berljage, Jameson. — A. most elegant plant, and to all appearance very distinct 

 from Cr. elongata, as may he seen from the respective fignres, and onr specimens 

 of the two are exceedingly constant in their characters, ])resenting no interme- 

 diate form ; yet it is possil)le, as we snspect it to he with G. rnfa and G. tomen- 

 tosa, the simply-pinnated elongata may, under certain circumstances, become 

 compoundly pinnated. G.fahellnta, however, I have never seen except from Dr. 

 Jameson. Under his G. Ruiziana. Klotzsch quotes this with a mark of doubt ; but 

 instead of having the " pinnas primariae refractaj," they are here erecto-patent. 



21. G. (Eugymnogramme) elongata, Hook. ; caudex creep- 

 ing, the apex setaceo-paleaceous the rest densely radicant 

 with long slightly-branched wiry rigid fibres, stipites nu- 

 merous ])ut not closely aggregated 3-4 inches long slender 

 fragile black-ebeneous glossy, fronds subcoriaceo-membrana- 

 ceous 6-14 inches long ^ an inch wide linear-elongate seri- 

 ceo-hirsute (as well as the dark-purple rachis and especially 

 the undeveloped apex) pinnated, pinnae copious distinctly 

 petiolate cordato-ovate very obtuse with reflexed margins 

 deeply pinnatifid with 5-7 short broad obtuse lobes, the 

 lowest pair broad cuneate obtusely bi-trifid the rest rounded 

 entire, veins simple or forked, sori oblong close to the cos- 

 tule or primary vein. — Hook, in Journ. of Bot. 1834. \. p.G\.

Hab. Ecuador, at Surrncucho, near Cuenca, alt. 9000 feet, Jameson; Loxa, 

 Seemann, n. 957. Peru, Andinarca, Mathews, n. 1091 ; near Agapata, Lechler, 

 PI. Peruv. n. 2036. — ^This is surely distinct from our G. cheilantboules, from 

 Mauritius and Tristan d'Acuidia, though Alettenius seems to consider it the same. 

 It has some claim to l)e ranked with Jamesonia, where Fee has placed it, and it 

 has the apices of the fronds as in that genus (and in some other genera) apjja- 

 rently in a continuous state of development. 



22. G. (Eugymnogramme) clieilanlhoides, Klfs. ; caudex 

 creeping underground copiously rooting with numerous wiry 

 fibres, stipites distant slender flexuose 4-5 inches long pur- 

 ple-ebeneous, fronds firm-membranaceous 9-10 inches long 

 f of an inch wide glanduloso-pilose (as well as the dark- 

 pur|)le rachis) elongato lanceolate acuminate (the young 

 apices very villous) pinnate, pinnre horizontal sessile but not 

 adnate, from a broad base ovate deeply almost to the rachis
