UNDERWOOD: REVIEW OF THE GENERA OF Ferns 267 
personal work was based on collections in Jamaica, etc., which had 
been described by him either in the Prodromus (1788) or his 
Flora Indiae Occidentalis (1806). The work was edited and an- 
notated by Weber and Mohr. Swartz recognized 38 genera be- 
sides three of the Lycopodiaceae of which the following were new : 
I. Zaenitis Willd. (24) founded on Pteris blechnoides Willd. 2. 
Cheilanthes (126) based on sixteen species of which C. micropteris 
isfirst named. 3. Anemia(155) based on seventeen species of which 
Osmunda phyllitidis L. is first named. 4. Moria (159) based on 
Adiantum Caffrorum L. which is rebaptized as Mohria thurifraga ; 
and s. Psilotum (187) based on Lycopodium nudum L. which is re- 
baptized as P. triquetrum. 
1809 
Willdenow (Berliner Mag. 160) founded the genus Struthiopteris* 
based on Osmunda Struthiopteris L. “und eine neue noch nicht 
beschriebene aus Pennsylvanien ;" and the genus Lomaria based on 
** Alle von Swartz angeführte-Arten, ausser den bereits davon eben 
getrennten werden, nur dessen Oxoclea Sorbifolium ist ein wahres 
Aerostichum." As the reference is to Swartz’ Synopsis Filicum, 
Lomaria must stand for O. spicata, O. nedulosa Mx., O. discolor, 
O. Capensis, O. lineata, O. Boryana, O. attenuata and O. scandens, 
as the residue in the order named by Swartz. 
1809 
Schkuhr (Crypt. Gewáchse, 82) published the genus Mono- 
gramma Commerson, based on M. graminea from Bourbon and 
aee on pl. 87 under “ Cenopteris ?" 
1810 : 
R. Brown (Prodr. Fl. Nov. Holl. 1 :) established the following 
genera: 1. Notholaena t (145) based on five species of which JV. 
distans is first mentioned ; a “genus cujus lupus Poly. umbrosum - 
* This is 7 time this generic name was used, Cf. 1760, Scopoli, and 1801, 
Bernhardi abo 
t The aor y Nothoc: Maena has been followed by many but Robert Brown 
name as above. It is passing strange that with the copy of the Prodromus 
in hand, Mr. Baker could say of Methocklaena~‘‘.The above is the original spelling of 
the name as given by R. Brown." Cf. Annals Bot. 5: 480 (New Ferns, 98),
