The specimen which I refer to this rare species is by its form, the 

 outlines of the pinnules, and its nervation so closely related to the Old 

 World plant that its reference to the same species seems quite justified. 



' strict aflbereuce to the law of priority requires the use of the orthography given by Brongniart 

 in the "Prodrome'' and Ihe "Histoire."
