56 ASPLENIUM APPENDICULATUM. 



pinnse, the apex proliferous; somewhat ovate pinnules, with 

 wedge-shaped base; acute segments. 



Rachis and stipes scaly, winged, the scales very dark around 

 the rhizoma; terminal, being attached to a short creeping rhi- 

 zoma. The pinnae are nearly equal in width except near the 

 apex; viviparous. 



Length of frond eighteen inches; colour a dull heavy green. 



Sori bold, oblong in form, a single one on each pinnule; 

 eventually becoming confluent, and covering the whole under 

 surface. 



Mr. Henderson, of Wentworth, was kind enough to send me 

 a plant of this species. 



It may be procured at a moderate price of Messrs. E-ollisson, 

 of Tooting; Sim, of Foot's Cray; and Veitch, Jun., of Chelsea. 



The illustration is from a plant in my own collection.
