Cheilanthes Clevelandii, D. C. Eaton. 
Rootstock creeping, covered with narrow rigid dark-brown scales ; 
stalks scattered, 2-6 inches long, dark-brown, wiry, when young scaly, but 
at length nearly smooth; fronds of mature plants 4-6 inches long, ovate- 
lanceolate, tripinnate ; smooth and green above, beneath deep fulvous-brown

ciliated scales growing on the ultinate segments as well as on the midribs 
and rachises; segments otherwise naked, nearly round, flattish, 4—} a line

made up of much more tortuous cells, are in the mature frond of a very deep but bright cineaabit- 
brown, and bear near the base or along the lower part a few very long ciliary projections, which are 
often curved upwards and visible from the upper surface of the frond. It may prove that this is only a 
form of C. myriophylla, but as the scales of the frond are smaller and very closely imbricated, it is per- 
haps best for the present to regard it as distinct.

Cheilanthes myriophyila, Desvaux. 
Rootstock very short, clothed with dark-brown narrow rigid scales; 
stalks tufted, 2-6 inches high, castaneous, wiry, covered with partly decid- 
uous pale-brown narrow appressed scales and woolly hairs intermixed ; 
frond 3-8 inches long, oblong-lanceolate, smooth and green er deciduously 
pilose above, beneath matted-tomentose and densely clothed with pale- 
brown or ferruginous narrowly ovate-lanceolate ciliated spreading scales,
