be a Grammitis, which is characterized by Mr Brown as ha- 
ving the sori, “ venula unica insidentes, axi obliqui.” 
Whether or not the Grammitis graminoides of Swartz, 
above cited, be the same with the individual here figured, it is 
not easy for me to say. Its habit is similar; but it does not 
attain to more than half the size of the Taenitis graminzfolia, 
not exceeding two inches in height, and it has the line of cap- 
sules very much shorter, forming an oblong cluster, “ costam 
mediam seu nervum terminans.” I am, however, still much 
inclined to consider that plant as a small state only of the pre- 
sent; and if so, it unquestionably is not a Grammitis. 
The specimen here delineated was given to me, along with 
many other rarities, particularly of the Fern tribe, from the 
island of St Vincent’s, by my friend the Reverend Lanps-
