New Pare Beckett, 1892; auf dampfender Erde bei Christ- 
church; Herb. C. Miiller. I have in my herbarium a specimen sent to 
Rev C. H. Binstead by Ty. ‘. Beckett, as “ F. cam neurus ; on 
damp clay, Fendalton, near Christchurch, N. Z., Aug., 1896,” which is 
certainly F. inclinabilis, and not improbably from the same locality as the 
type. North-east Valley, Dunedin ; leg. et comm. D. Petrie. 
e border is so faint everyw here except on the vaginant lamina, where 
it is stout, that I should have been almost inclined to place the species 
under Semilimbidium. Its very close relation to the last species, pomerer: 
seems to demand its retention in the present section, where C. Miller 
places it. It is indeed doubtful whether it be more than a varietal form 
of F. campyloneurus, of which it appears to have the fruiting characters. 
F. anisophyllus and F. vittatus differ in the broader leaves with less 
acute points, the areolation of a different type, with firmer thicker walls, 
smaller, and not elongate in the vaginant lamina, which also in F. vittatus 
is quite differently bordered. 
am quite unable to separate from F. inclinabilis, a plant sent me from 
Mitten’s herbarium, “ Brisbane, Queensland, Bailey : 256, p.p.,” without 
name.

I had described and crowing this species—and it was already in type— 
as ois obscurifolius sp. . I have since recognized its identity with ro 
Tasmanian plant amin! Pr. leptocladus by C. Miiller in herb. Weymou 
and aaediibied by Rodway, op. cit. As it is a little known plant I sae 
allowed the description to stand.
