 in. I., wiry, flexuose ; fr. 6-12 in. 1., 3-4 in. br., witli a linear-lanceolate simple 

 or pinnatifid point, simply pinnate below ; pinnos usually in numerous pairs, all 

 stalked, 1-^-6 in. 1., J-1 in. br., varying from linear-acuminate to lanceolate in 

 shape, only the sterile ones, which are broader than theotliers, a little toothed ; 

 texture herbaceous ; veins copiously anastomosing ; sori in a continuous marginal 

 line.— Ift. Sp. I. p. 220. Ga/rd. F. t. 62. Hk. S Gr.t.Wl. S. Agatii, Brack,

 ward to the Polynesian Islands, Mauritius, Madagascar, Natal, Cape Colony, and Guinea 

 coast. — This has quite the general habit of Plei-ii creiica, and is very variable in size and 

 the number of pinnae. Z. Gri^thiana is an unbranched form.

 about 12 in. 1., with an "entire ovate undivided apex, about 6 in. 1., 2 in. br. ; 

 pinnce about as long hut rather narrower, ovate-lanceolate, oblique at the base, 

 decurrent on a, short petiole, not toothed; texture between herbaceous and 

 coriaceous ; sori in continuous submarginal lines. — Hk. Sp. l.p. 220. 



«Hab. Brazil and Guiana. — The inner valve of the involucre is a membranous line, 

 and the edge of the frond is produced beyond the line of the sorus, and oanno^ be said to 

 be altered in texture.

 in. 1., slender, erect ; fi: 9-12 in. 1., 1 in. br., simply pinnate ; pinnos in distant 

 pairs, the largest -J-j in. 1., |-f in. br., cordate-ovate, toothed above and some- 

 times deeply lobed at the base, the upper ones almost as broad as long ; texture 

 thinly herbaceous ; sori in a continuous marginal line. — Hk. Sp.l.p.221.t.lO.'Q. 



Hab. Queensland. — It is not at all unlikely that this is a small delicate variety of 

 i. heterophylla. 



44. L. (Schiz.) heteroph/Ua, Dry. ; rhizome short-creeping ; st. 4-8 in. I., 

 firm, naked, erect ; fr. 6-12 in. 1., 3-6 in. br., lanceolate or oblong-deltoid, 

 varying from simply pinnate, with large linear-lanceolate entire ^i»K(8, to bipin- 

 nate, with erecto-patent branches, 3-4 in. 1., with oblong lanceolate Mi\ra\, pinnl.

 Hk.Sp.\.p.%'iZ. 



Hab. Neilgherries, Ceylon, Hongkong, Malayan peninsula and islands. — The pinnss 

 or pinnules of the barren frond are slightly toothed. L. cuneata, Willd., is this species 

 from the Mauritius. 



** Diellia, Brack. Sori not quite marffinal, transversely oblong or linear, the 

 outer valve of the involucre mew^hrajna^eous, similar in shape to th-e sorus, but the 

 frond on the other side usually produced ba/ond them and not altered in texture. 

 Sp. 46-48. 



45. L. (Diellia) pumila, Hk. MSS. (wore Klotzsch) ; st. tufted, 1-2 in. 1., Y^iry, 

 blackish, polished ; fr. 4-9 in. 1., j-1 in. br., simply pinnate ; piimce 4-6 lin. 1., 

 l|-2 lin. br., ovate-rhomboidal, rounded at the point, slightly undulated, 

 auricled at the base on the upper side ; texture subcoriaceous ; veins immersed ; 

 sori transversely oblong, submarginal. — Diellia pumila, Brack, p. 219.
