63. ANEMIA, § EU ANEMIA. 431 



Gen. 65. Anemia, Sib. See page 523. 



Caps, small, very abundant, forming a copiously-branched panicle quite 

 distinct from the leafy part of the frond. A well-marked genus, almost cot^ned 

 to Tropical America. Tab. VIII. fig. 65. 



§ Euanemia. Panicle and leafy portion united in the same frond ; veins free. 

 Sp. 1-18. Fig. 65a. 



* Pinnee oflarren segment entire or nearly so. Sp. 1-12. 



+ Barren segment lanceolate or la/nceolate-dblong. Sp. 1-8. 



A. Pinnce 6-8 or less on each side. Sp. 1-3. 



1. A. Gardneri, Hk. ; st. 3-4 in. 1., firm, erect, naked ; barren segm. short- 

 stalked, 4 in. 1., 2J in. br., with 4 imbricated nearly round pinntB on each side, 

 the lowest 1 in br., short-stalked, the edge crenulate ; texture coriaceous ; rachis 

 and both sides naked ; veins quite flabellate ; panicle 2 in. 1., with elongated 

 spreading lower branches, the peduncle about equalling it. — Hk. Ic. t. 190 (not 

 A. Gardneriana, Presl). A. Glaziovii, Fie. 



Hab. South Brazil, Gardner, 4. Glaziou,, 3175. 



2. k.. jiliformis, Presl ; St. 1-3 in. 1., slender, slightly viUose ; harren segm. ses- 

 sile, 3-4 in. 1., 1-1^ in. br., with 6-8 sessile linear-obovate ^jnM(E on each side, 

 which are 2-3 lin. br., with nearly their own breadth between them, the edge 

 rather deeply toothed ; texture almost herbaceous ; rachis and surfaces finely 

 villose ; veins flabellate ; panicle 2-3 in. 1., the branches short, with a peduncle 

 3 or 4 times its own length. — A. dentata, Gardner. 



Hab. Mexico and West Indies to Brazil. — This may be a variety of the next, with 

 which it coincides in its short stem and very long peduncle ; but the texture is much less 

 coriaceous, and the pinns are narrower and distinctly toothed. Mettenius refers the 

 synonym of ^. filiformis, Sirartz, to our A. £reateliana. 



3. A. oblongifolia, Sw. ; St. 2-4 in. 1., firm, erect, slightly villose ; harren segm. 

 sessile, 2-4 in. 1., IJ in. br., simply pinnate, with 6-8 pairs of sessile pinnce, which 

 are oblong, blunt, subentire, the base on the upper side parallel with the stem, on 

 the lower obliquely truncate ; texture coriaceous ; rachis and surfaces finely vil- 

 lose ; veins flabellate ; panicle 1-2 in. 1., the lower branches short, the peduncle 

 6-6 in. 1. — Schk. t. 142. — /3, A. humilis, Sw. ; smaller, pinnce close, 3-4 only on 

 each side. A. Seemanni, Hk. Lond. joum. 7. t. 16. 



Hab. Mexico to Brazil and Peru. — A. pilosa, Presl (A. prnnila, Klotzsch), appears to 

 be a form intermediate between our two varieties. Characterized by its dose coriaceous 

 pinuse and barren segment nearly equal in width throughout. 



B. Pinnce more than 6-8 on each side. Sp. 4-8. 



4. A. Dregeana, Kze. ; st. 8-12 in. 1., firm, slightly villose ; barren segm. sub- 

 sessile, 8-12 in. 1., 2-3 in. br., about equal in width in the lower half, with 8-12 

 pinncB on each side, which are 1-1^ in. 1., J- j in, br., ovate-deltoid, unequal at 

 the base, the upper side subcordate, the edge inciso-crenate ; texture subcoriaceous ; 

 rachis and surfaces finely villose, a distinct midrib often halfway to the apex ; 

 panicle 3-4 in. 1., the lower branches elongated, on a peduncle about as long as 

 ifseU.—Kze.t.2Q. Hk. let. 2S6.
