 The pinnae are said to be very deciduous. 



41. L. (Schiz.) ensifolia, Swartz ; rhizome creeping, stout, paleaceous ; st. 6-9 

 in. ]., wiry, flexuose ; /;■. G-12 in. 1., 8-4 in. br., with a linear-lanceolate simple 

 or pinnatifid point, simply pinnate below ; innnm usually in numerous pairs, all 

 stalked, 1^-6 in. 1., \-\ in. br., varying from linear-acuminate to lanceolate in 

 shape, only the sterile ones, which are broader than the others, a little toothed ; 

 texture herbaceous ; vdns copiously anastomosing ; sori in a continuous marginal 

 line.— i7-(-. Sp. 1. p. 220. Gard. F. t. 62. Hk. & Gr.t.lU. S. Agatii, Brad:

 ward to the Polynesian Islands, Mauritius, Madagascar, Natal, Cape Colony, and Guinea 

 coast. — This has quite the general habit of Ptei-is cretica, and is very variable in size and 

 the number of pinnae. Z. Griffithiana is an unbranched form. 



42. L. (Schiz.) macrophj/Ua, Kaulf. ; st. 12-18 in. 1., strong, erect, polished ; .fr. 

 about 12 in. 1., with an entire ovate undivided apex, about 6 in. 1., 2 in. br. ; 

 pinnce about as long but rather narrower, ovate-lanceolate, oblique at the base, 

 decurrent on a short petiole, not toothed ; texture between herbaceous and 

 coriaceous ; sori in continuous submarginal lines. —i//t. Sp. \. p. 220. 



Hab. Brazil and Guiana. — The inner valve of the involucre is a membranous line, 

 and the edge of the frond is produced beyond the line of the sorus, and cannot be said to 

 be altered in texture. 



43. L. (Schiz.) Fraseri, Hk. ; rhizome slender, creepins?, fibrillose ; st. 2-3 

 in. 1., slender, erect ; fr. 9-12 in. 1., 1 in. br., simply pinnate ; pinnce in distant 

 pairs, the largest ^-| in. 1., j-§ in. br., cordate-ovate, toothed above and some- 

 times deeply lobed at the base, the upper ones almost as broad as long ; texture 

 thinly herbaceous ; sori in a continuous marginal line. — Hk. Sp. I. p. 221. t. 70. B. 



Hab. Queensland. — It is not at all unlikely that this is a small delicate variety of 

 L. heterophylla. 



44. L. (Schiz.) heterophi/lla, Y)xy. ; rhizome short-creeping ; st. 4-8 in. 1., 

 firm, naked, erect ; fr. 6-12 in. 1., 8-6 in. br., lanceolate or oblong-deltoid, 

 varying from simply pinnate, with large linear-lanceolate entire ^>2?2??ce?, to bipin- 

 nate, with erecto-patent branches, 3-4 in. 1., with oblong lanceolate \>\\x\\i pinnl. 

 \-\ in. I., J in. br. ; texture herbaceous ; sori in continuous marginal lines. — 

 m.Sp.\.p.222>. 



Hab. Neilgherries, Ceylon, Hongkong, Malayan peninsula and islands. — The pinnie 

 or pinnules of the barren frond are slightly toothed. L. cuneata, Willd., is this species 

 from the Mauritius. 



** Diellia, Brack. Sori not quite marginal, transverselj/ oblong or linear, the 

 outer vahc of the involucre memhranaccous, similar in shape to the sorus, but the 

 frond on the other side usualli^ produced beyond them and not altered in texture. 

 Sp. 45-48. 



45. L. {Ji\e\\\a) pumila, Hk. MSS. {non Klotzsch) ; st. tufted, 1-2 in. 1., wiry, 

 blackish, jiolished ; fr. 4-9 in. 1., |-1 in. br., simply j)innate ; pinna; 4-6 lin. 1., 

 1-2-2 lin. br., ovate-rhomboidal, rounded at the point, slightly undulated, 

 auricled at the base on the upper side ; texture subcoriaceous ; veins immersed ; 

 soi-i transversely oblong, submarginal. — Diellia pumila, Brack, p. 219. 



Hab. Sandwich Islands. — A very distinct plant, with the habit of a large form of 

 Asplenium Trichomancs.
