Asplenium (Euasplenium) Seelosii, Leyb. 



Nanum, frondibus longe stipitatis trifoliolatis, foliolis sessilibus 

 lanceolatis integerrimis Tel grosse serratis undique distincte 

 hirsutis pilis diaphanis, involucris albidis marginibus suber- 

 osis approximatis subinibricatis.

Acropteris Seelosii, Henfl. Aspl. Europ. p. 111. 



Asplenium tridactylites, Bartl. in Herb. Kze. and Bolle in 

 Herb. Hook, (sterile fronds, simple, three lobed). 



Hab. Clefts of Dolomitic rocks, at an elevation of from 4- 

 6000 feet, on the south and north-west side of the Schleern- 

 geberg, in South Tyrol, Seelos, C. Bolle. 



This is perhaps the rarest of all European Ferns, confined 

 to a very limited locality in South Tyrol. The affinity is 

 evidently with small specimens of Aspl. septentrionale or Aspl. 

 Germanicum, and hence the plant would be an Acropteris 

 of Link. The only specimens I possess were obligingly sent 

 to me by Dr. Bolle ; they were accompanied with the locality 

 " pres de Salurn, au pied du Mont Geier, dans les fentes des 

 rochers calcaires, Tyrol meridionale."
