SUPPLEMENT TO THE JAMAICAN FERNS RECORDED 
IN GRISEBACH’S “FLORA OF THE BRITISH WEST 
INDIES.” 
By G. S. Jenman. 
Tue following enumeration I have drawn up from my own herba- 
rium, with the aid of the * Synopsis Filicum”; but it makes no pre- 
tension to completeness, as, pro bably, several J: idles species not 
recorded in Grisebach’s ‘* Flora,” not here mentioned, are covered in the 
geography of the ‘* Synopsis Filicum” under the words West Indies. 
The numbers preceding the new species have been given to 
by Mr. Baker, and indicate his idea of their position in the sequence 
followed in the ‘* Synopsis Filic

There is a lar bipinnate Adiantum, intermediate between

Of Asplenium radicans there are two or three distinct varieties. A 
plant from the highest ridges, with short tumid involucres, which Mr. 
Baker considers for the present a variety, may Ualisig distinct. 
Aspidium Plaschnickianum, Kunze, viviparum, F¥s, tridens, Hk.,
