 The plants collected by mo have short, ovate fronds, 3.5 6 cm. long, 2.7—5 cm. broad. Ijobes 

 obtuse, slightly dentate towards the ends. Secundai- veins of pinnules rarely more than twice branched. 

 Clefts of rocks rare, hitherto only found in the northern mountain-range. Kantara castle (.JH .551).

Plants tall and vigorous, on average ca. 20 cm. high,

Grassy places near water-springs at Panagia Tiikukia 

 near Prodrorao, ca. 1350 m. above the sea (JH 891).

Dwartish form, only ca. 2-3 cm. higli. In most of my 

 specimens the sterile frond is considerably broader than in the 

 typical foim of the species, elliptical obovate, 11 — 18 mm. long 

 and 6 — 8 mm. broad. Similar forms I have, however, seen in 

 Boissier's herbarium from other localities, and the absence ot finer 

 veinlets in the mashes formed by the anastomosating head-ribs 

 removes any doubt as to the correctness of the determination. 



Large masses on the "red earth" below the monastery 

 of Hag. Napa (JH 22) and on the I'oad from there to Xylophago, 

 near the level of the sea. Also between juniper-shrubs at Valia 

 near Hag. Theodores. — Very rare in the area of Boissier's 

 "Flora orientalis", the easternmost localities hitherto known being 

 Navarino and ^lenthone on the Peloponnesus (Ch.\ubard ct Boey, 

 Fl. Pelop., p. 66).
