 Denkam, n. 116. 



A very pretty new Davallia, which, like the following one 

 (D. rhomboidea, Tab. xlviii), I find difficult to refer 

 satisfactorily to its group in the genus ; so much do those 

 groups gradually pass, by almost insensible characters, into 

 others. 



Fertile plant ; nat. size. Fig. 1. Small pinnule with sori. 

 f. 2. Sorus. f. 3. Sorus with the anterior portion of the
