 specifically distinct from the Australian one. 



27. G. (Eugymnogramme) papaverifolia, Kze. ; caudex a 

 small knob-like rhizome erect paleaceous above with imbri- 

 cated linear-lanceolate brown glossy scales, stipites 1-2^ 

 inches long pubescently glanduloso-hirsute (as is the whole 

 plant) densely tufted, fronds 2-4 inches long 1-1^ inch wide 

 near the middle, broad oblong-lanceolate obtuse bipinnate (or 

 perhaps more correctly pinnate with the pinnee pinnatifid), 

 pinnae ratiier distant alternate subsessile subobliquely ovate, 

 pinnules spreading 2-3 lines long obovato-cuneate decurrcnt 

 and forming wings on the rachis entire and mono-disorous or 

 the lower ones lobed or dentate, their lobes monosorous, sori 

 oval oblong prominent, when geminate confluent, capsules 

 rather compact. — Kze. Ana'. Pterid.p. 12. /. S.f. 2 {the fronds 

 too broad at the base., and heiice too triangular). Pleurosorus,

 " Asplenium cihatum, Pr., Bertero, niss." [Kze.), a name, I 

 believe, nowhere otherwise known. 



Hab. Chili : " Quillota, Bertero, n. 65 and 817" {Kze.) ; Leona mountains, San 

 Jago, Gay ; Cordillera, Cuming, n. 198. — Var. ;8, Chili, ''Bertero," Bridge.^, n. 553 ; 

 Santiago, Germain; Valparaiso, Harvey, Brackenridge. — The normal state of this 

 small Fern might easily be mistaken for the Asplenium Magellanicurn of South 

 Chili, hut for the presence of the glandular pubescence and the al)seuce of invo- 

 lucre to the sori. Kunze's figure is apt to mislead, for it represents the frond 

 very broad at the base, which i have never seen to be the case ; and I am all but 

 satisfied that the supposed species itself will bave to be united with G. ruta'foUa, 

 and thus furnish an American locality. Mr. Harvey's specimens and INlr. Bridges' 

 afford intermediate specimens between F. papaverifolia and those of .\I. Germain, 

 which latter can hardly be distinguished from Australian ones: and again I find, 

 among Sir Tlios. Mitchell's specimens, some fronds from the interior of tropical 

 Australia, which it would be hard to separate from G. papaverifolia. 



28, G. (Eugymnogramme) Totta, Schlecht. ; caudex stout 

 horizontal or ascending sparsely paleaceous, stipites subter- 

 minal a span and more long subcaespitose scaly at the base, 

 fronds 12-lG inches long 5-10 inches broad dark or blackish- 

 green iirm-membranaceous more or less hairy on both sides 

 and on the rachises, pinnate deeply pinnatifid towards the 

 apex broad ovato-lanceolate acuminate, pinnae patent 3^-5
