This is one among the many Andinian Ferns, which, as far 

 as my researches extend, I take to be new, and for which I 

 am indebted to Prof. W. Jameson's zeal and kindness. 

 It is a graceful Fern, probably pendent in its native locality, 

 judging from the slenderness of the stipes and a peculiar 

 curvature in many of the specimens at the setting on of the 

 frond upon the stipes.
