This plant which is maintained as a distinct species, under 

 the not very appropriate name of A. speciosa, by Presl and 

 Liebmann (from whom I have received authentic specimens), 

 I can only consider as variety of Anemia Mexicana, a variety 

 probably occasioned by its locality, at a considerable elevation 

 on the mountains. The fronds are of a firmer texture, the 

 pinnae are fewer, generally 3, and these shorter and blunter.
