 peduncle 1-4 in. 1. — Mart. Ic. t. 58. A. diveisifolia and Vi'speitilio, Schrad. 



Hab. South Brazil. — With this we are not acquainted. The description is compiled 

 principally from Mailius. 



21. A. (Aneinid.) Phyllitidis, Sw. ; st. G-18 in. 1., stramineous, naked or fibril- 

 lose ; barren segm. sessile, 4-12 in. 1., 2-8 in. br., ovate-oblong, simply pinnate; 

 pinnce in 4-12 sessile pairs, the lowest the largest, ovate, 1-G in. 1., ^-2 in. br., tiie 

 apex acute, the edge crenulate, the base rounded or cuneate or unequal ; texture 

 subcoriaceous ; main vein distinct to the apex, the veinlets oblique, forming 

 numerous long narrow areolte ; rachises naked or pilose ; panicle dense, 3-9 in. 1., 

 the branches short, the peduncle 3-8 in. 1. — Plum. t. 156. Raddi, Fil. Bras.t.8. 



Hab. Cuba and Mexico to Peru and South Brazil. — "We appear to include here eight 

 species of Sturm, of which ^. obh'qua and sorhifolia, Schrad., A. fraxinlfolia, Raddi, and 

 A. macrophylla, have the terminal pinna more or lens joined to those below, whilst in 

 his A. PhijlLitidis, lon(jifoUa, Link, and densa, Raddi, it is distinctly separated. A. laci- 

 niata. Link, has the lower pinnje inciso-lobate. Villose forms of this are often labelled 

 A, hirta, Sw. ; but that synonym appears to belong properly to our A. Breutellana.

 lower pinnce the largest, stalked, simple, or with 1 or 2 roundish sessile entire 

 or slightly toothed pinnl. on each side ; texture coriaceous ; surface glossy ; veins 

 finely channelled, flabellate ; panicle 2-3 in. 1., interrupted, the lower branches

 stramineous ; barren jr. 2-3 in. 1., 1^ in. br., subdeltoid, tripinnatifid ; pinnce few, 

 distant, the lower ones deltoid, the upper pinnules cuneate, simple, \ in. br., the 

 lower ones deeply cleft from the circumference inwards ; texture subcoriaceous ; 

 rachis and surfaces naked ; veins flabellate ; panicle 2-3 in. 1., very lax and few- 

 branched, stem 8-12 in. 1. 



Hab. Cuba, Wright 1812. — Inhabit not unlike A. cuneata, or a small slender form of 

 adiantifolia.

 barren fr. 2-3 in. 1., |-] in. br., oblong-deltoid, tripinnatifid ; lower pinnce the 

 largest, subdeltoid, with cuneate pinnatifid pinnl.; texture subcoriac ous ; veins

Hab. Bahamas and West Indies. —The figure of Plumier which Liacaeus quotes is 

 evidently Osmunda cinnamomea.

Hab. Brazil. — A. (enuifolia, Presl (Sturm, I. c. t. 16. f. 2), is probably a smaller and 

 more slender form of this species. Leaf in cutting resembling that of Baniuinfiescuosum, 

 the divisions much longer and fewer than in the next. .
