50 NOTHOCHLCENA SQUAMOSA. 



A native of Mexico and Peru. At Cerro del Morro, San 

 Luis, Argentine Republic. 



There are from thirty-four to forty pairs of pinnae; the foot- 

 stalks of which are so short as to be hid by the base of the 

 pinnfe. 



I am indebted to Mr. Henderson, of Wentworth, for a plant 

 of this species, and to the same gentleman, and Mr. Norman, 

 of Hull, for fructified fronds. 



It is in the Fern catalogue of Mr. E,. Sim, of the Foot's Cray 

 Nursery, Kent. I am not aware that it is contained in that 

 of any other British Catalogue. 



The illustration is from a plant in my own collection.
