Caudice repente ferrugineo-tomentoso-squamuloso, stipitibus 

 sparsis firmis flexuosis semipedalibus ad pedalem basi squa- 

 mulosis, frondibus coriaceis subdeltoideo-acuminatis sparsis 

 3-4-pinnatis, pinnis primariis ovato-lanceolatis valde acumi- 

 natis pinnatifidis ultimis lanceolatis dentato-pinnatifidis 

 dentibus soriferis, soris intramarginalibus cupuliformibus. 



Hab. Canalla, New Caledonia, Mr. Charles Moore, n. 5. 



This species of Davallia, belonging to the group or section 

 Eudavallia, possesses no very strikingly marked characters, 

 and yet cannot be referred to any known species. It comes 

 too from a country in the Australian S. Pacific Ocean, 

 which would doubtless yield a good harvest of new Ferns, 

 could it be fully investigated by the Botanist.
