Sir W. J. Hooker remarks that this plant, although very dis- 

 tinct from Camptosorus rhizopTiyllus , (the Asplenium rhizophyl- 

 lum of Linnseus, see Plate xiv. — A, vol. v, and page 43 of same 

 volume of Ferns, British and Exotic,) nevertheless it has much 

 of its habit; the points of the fronds are not however as in that 

 plant rooting or viviparous.
