NEW HEBRIDES AND LOYALTY ISLANDS, 29 
ASPIDIUM ACULEATUM (Swartz in Schrader’s Yournal fuer 
adie Botanik, 1800, U., 37.) 
New Hesrives. This fern, though regarded as almost cosmopolitan 
is absent from most parts of Australia, being there restricted, as far as 
hitherto ascertained, to the south-eastern and eastern regions. 
ASPLENIUM FALCATUM (La Marck, Encyclopedie method, 
_ IL, 306.) 
New HEBRIDES. Under the above specific name A. polyodon and 
A. caudatum (G. Forster, Flor. Znsul. Austr., Prodr. p. 80) are to be 
combined. 
AspLeNIuM Nipus (Linné, Spec. Plantar, 1537.) 
New HEBRIDES. 
ASPLENIUM VuLcanicum (Blume, Exumerat. Plint. Fav. 
Lilic., 176.) 
New HEBRIDES, from whence this stately fern was not recorded 
before. : 
PreRIs LONGIFOLIA (Linnd, Spec. Plant., p. 1047.) 
New Heprives. F. Campbell. Collected in Eramanga already by 
Bishop Patteson, the martyr of Santa Cruz, who, amidst the arduous 
duties devolving on his high office, set also an example for zealous and 
devoted appreciation of Divine revelation, as afforded us in the works of 
nature. So, through the personal exertions of this unfortunate prelate, 
we became early acquainted with numerous plants from the islands then 
under his Lordship’s ecclesiastical care. 
The marginal serratures of the pinne of P. longifolia are at times very 
conspicuous; the auricular protrusion of the anterior basal angle measurés. 
occasionally fully a quarter of an inch. 
PTERIS CRENATA (Swartz, Synops. Filic., 
p. 96 and 290.) 
ANEITYUM, F. Campbell; ERaMANGA, Bishop Patteson. 
Preris comans (G. Forster, Flor. Znsul. Austral, Prod. 
Pp. 79- 
ERAMANGA. Collected by Bishop Patteson, Captain Fraser, and 
Mr. F. Campbell. The lateral pinnze attain a length of one and a-half 
feet; also the upper segments are sometimes lobed. 
PTERIS QUADRIAURITA (Retzius, Odscrvat., vI., 38.)
