In conclusion, we have to notice a very singular plant, 

 which, for some time, had been mistaken for a Fern. We 

 allude to the Lomaria eriopus of Kunze., mentioned in the 

 Linna^a., vol. 13, p. 152, and vol. 18, p. 116. It does not 

 belong, however, to the Filical tribe, but to the natural order 

 of Cycadece, and has been named by Mr. Moore in honour of 

 the late Dr. Stanger, Surveyor-General of Natal. CI".
