 of half the width of the pinnse, and reddish brown in colour. 

 Veins branched. 



Length of frond twelve inches; colour rich green. 



E-hizoma erect. 



E-achis and stipes ebeneous, rounded beneath, fluted above,

A. dentex has the pinnae not dentate on the basal edge, the 

 upper edge and round the apex dentate, yet not deeply so as 

 in A. formosum; pinnae broader and stouter than in A. 

 formosum. 



For a plant my obligations are due to Mr. T. Downs, of 

 Ilfracombe. 



It does not appear to be in any of the Nurserymen's Cata- 

 logues. 



The illustration is from a plant in my own collection.
