I noted this fern, as having a distinct individuality, when at Simla in 1886 ; 

 and when at Kew in 1888 I found a poor specimen or two, from Yunnan, 

 named as above, which seemed to be the same. The stipes are always short — 

 often much shorter than Beddomes length, 8 — 4 ins. The pinnae are never so 

 short and simple as those of A. ilidfoUum. The fronds seem seldom to grow 

 straight up, but curve sideways : Trotter describes them as— " sickle-shaped, 

 radiating, spreading-out on the surface of rocks, and connecting rufo-barbatum 

 with iUcifolium." Sometimes the fronds are bent like the upper part of a note 

 of interrogation (?) I thmk it necessary to give this frond specific rank in 

 order to prevent A . iUcifolium being said to pass into A . rufo-larbatum, to 

 which it ia totally unlike in everything except shape and spinosity of the 

 ultimate segments.
