2 ONYCHIUM AURATUM. 



The fronds, which are sub-membranaceous, are ovate-lanceolate, 

 acuminate, glossy, very compound, the primary and secondary 

 divisions pinnated. Segments linear, and all pointing upwards, 

 the fertile ones elongated. 



Pinnse opposite below, and alternate above. Stipes rounded 

 on the under side, and fluted above. 



Sori linear-elongated, covering the back of the fertile segments. 

 Involucres golden. 



Veins simple. 



For a plant I am indebted to Mr. James Veitch, of the 

 Exotic Nursery, Chelsea j and for fronds to M. Schott, of the 

 Imperial Gardens, Schonbriinn, and to Mr. E. Sim, of Foot's 

 Cray.
