distinct to the apex, the veinlets oblique, slightly joining ; panicle 1-2 in. 1., the 

 peduncle 1-4 in. 1. — Mart. Ic. t. 68. A. diversifolia and Vespertilio, Schrad. 



Hab. South Brazil. — With this we are not acquainted. The description is compiled 

 principally from Martius. 



21. A. (Anemid.) Pli)/Uitidis,.S^. ; St. 6-18 in. 1., stramineous, naked or fibril- 

 lose ; hai-ren segm. sessile, 4-12 in. 1., 2-8 in. br., ovate-oblong, simply pinnate; 

 pinnae in 4-12 sessile pairs, the lowest the largest, ovate, 1-6 in. 1., \-2 in. br., ^lie 

 apex acute, the.edge crenulate, the base rounded or cuneate or unequal ; texture 

 subcoriaceous ; main vein distinct to the apex, the veinlets oblique, forming 

 numerous long narrow areolae ; rachises naked or pilose ; panicle dense, 3-9 in. 1., 

 the branches short, the peduncle 3-8 in. 1. — Plum, t. 156, Baddi, Fil. Bras. t. 8. 



Hab. Cuba and Mexico to Peru and South Brazil. — We appear to inclnde here eight 

 species of Sturm, of which4. oiKjaaand sorhifolia, Schrad., A. fraxinifolia, Eaddi, and 

 A. macrophylla, have the terminal pinna more op- less joined to those below, whilst in 

 his A. Phyllitidis, lo7igifoUa,Jjm'k, and densa, Baddi, it is distinctly separated. 4.- laei- 

 idala, Link, has the lower pinnae inciso-lobate. Villose forms of this are often labelled 

 A, kirla, Sw. ; but that synonym appears to belong properly to our A. Breutelia/na. 



§§§ Coptophyllum, Gardn. Barren and fertile fronds distinct. Sp. 22-26. 



22. A. (Copt.) aurita, Sw. ; st. of the barren frond 2-3 in. 1., firm, erect, 

 slightly pilose ; barren /r. 3-6 in. I., lj-2in.br., oblong-deltoid, bipinnate, the 

 lower pinnce the largest, stalked, simple, or with 1 or 2 roundish sessile entire 

 or slightly toothed pinrd. on each side ; texture coriaceous ; swface glossy ; veins 

 finely channelled, flabellate ; panicle 2-3 io. 1., interrupted, the lower branches 

 short, the st. 0-8 in. L—Hk. Ic. t. 903. 



Hab. Jamaica. 



23. A. (Copt.) Wrightii, Baker ; st. of barren frond 1-5 in. 1., slender, naked, 

 stramineous ; barren fr. 2-3 in. 1., Ig in. br., subdeltoid, tripinnatifid ; pinnce few, 

 distant, the lower ones deltoid, the upper pinnules cuneate, simple, j in. br., the 

 lower ones deeply cleft from the circumference inwards ; texture subcoriaceous ; 

 rachis and surfaces naked ; veins flabellate ; panicle 2-3 in. 1., very lax and few- 

 hranched, stem 8-12 in. 1. 



Hab. Cuba, WrigM 1812. — Inhabit not unlike 4. ouneoia, or a small slender form of 

 adiantifoUtt. 



24. A. (Copt.) hipinnata, Moore ; St. of barren frond 1-2 in. 1., slender, naked ; 

 harren fr. 2-3 in. 1., J-l in. br., oblong-deltoid, tripinnatifid ; lower pinnce the 

 largest, subdeltoid, with cuneate pinnatifid pinnl.; texture subcoriao^ous ; veins 

 flabellate ; rachis and surfaces slightly hairy ; panicle lax, close, elongated, the 

 St. slender, 2-3 in. 1. — Osmunda, Linn. Herb. A. cicutaria, Kzo. Anal. Pter.

Hab. Bahamas and West Indies. — The figure of Plumier which LiacsBus quotes is 

 evidently Osmunda cmnamomea. 



25. A. (Copt.) dichotoma, Gardn.; st. of barren frond densely tufted, firm, 

 erect, slender, naked ; barren fr. 1-2 in. 1., about 1 in. br., oblong, tripinnate, 

 the segments filiform, dichotomously forked, the divisions 2-3 lin. 1. ; texture 

 subcoriaceous ; swrfaces and rachis naked ; panicle 2-3 in. 1., the lower branches 

 elongated, the st. 3-4 in. 1. — Sturm, in Mart. Fl. Bras. fasc. 23. fig. 16. t. 4.

Hab. Brazil. — A. temiifolia, Presl (Sturm, 1. c. t. 16. f. 2), is probably a smaller and 

 more slender form of this species. Leaf in cutting resembling that of Bwniumflexuosum, 

 the divisions much longer and fewer than in the next.
